You may choose your own change number if you want,
provided that it has not been used already.
If you do not specify a change number,
\*(n) will allocate the lowest unused change number.
The first few change numbers are reserved for
branches later in the project,
and so automatically allocated change
numbers will usually not start from 1. 
See
.IR aepa (1)
and
.IR aepattr (5)
for more information.
.PP
You \fBmust\fP give the \fB\-Project\fP option, see below.
.SH OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
.so o_edit.so
.so o_file.so
.so o_help.so
.so o_list.so
.TP 8n
\fB\-Output\fP \fIfilename\fP
This option may be used to specify a filename which is to be written with
the automatically determined change number.  Useful for writing scripts.
.TP 8n
\fB-Project\fP \fIname\fP
.RS
This option is used to select the project for the new change.
.PP
You \fBmust\fP supply the \fB\-Project\fP option to this command.
Experience has shown that when a site has a number of active projects
or several active branches on a project, new changes are frequently
created against the wrong project or the wrong branch.  Making the
project explicit reduces this problem.
