NAME

        aefinish - finish a change

SYNOPSIS

        aefinish [ option...  ]
        aefinish -Help
        aefinish -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

        The aefinish command is used to finish development or integration of a change set.  It
        examines the state of the change set, and executes the necessary Aegis commands to
        advance the change set to the next state.

OPTIONS

        The following options are understood:

        -Change number
                This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project.  See
                aegis(1) for a complete description of this option.

        -Help
                This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aefinish
                program.

        -Project name
                This option may be used to select the project of interest.  When no -Project
                option is specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT environment variable is consulted.  If
                that does not exist, the user's $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default
                project field (see aeuconf(5) for more information).  If that does not exist,
                when the user is only working on changes within a single project, the project
                name defaults to that project.  Otherwise, it is an error.

        See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.

        All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters,
        all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional.  You must use consecutive
        sequences of optional letters.

        All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a
        combination of both, case is not important.

        For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the
        -Project option.  The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive
        optional characters were not supplied.

        Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line,
        after the function selectors.

        The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for aefinish are long,
        this means ignoring the extra leading '-'.  The "--option=value" convention is also
        understood.

EXIT STATUS

        The aefinish command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The aefinish command
        will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

        See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command.  See
        aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's project_specific field for how to set
        environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
