DESCRIPTION
The aegis -Integrate_Fail command is used to inform aegis that a change has failed integration.

integration directory will be deleted.

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.
-Edit
Edit the attributes with a text editor, this is usually more convenient than supplying a text
file. The VISUAL and then EDITOR environment variables are consulted for the name of the editor
to use; defaults to vi(1) if neither is set. See the visual_command and editor_command fields
in aeuconf(1) for how to override this specifically for Aegis.
Warning: Aegis tries to be well behaved when faced with errors, so the temporary file is left in
your home directory where you can edit it further and re-use it with a -file option.
The -edit option may not be used in the background, or when the standard input is not a
terminal.
-Edit_BackGround
Edit the attributes with a dumb text editor, this is most often desired when edit commands are
being piped into the editor via the standard input. Only the EDITOR environment variable is
consulted for the name of the editor to use; it is a fatal error if it is not set. See the
editor_command field in aeuconf(1) for how to override this specifically for Aegis.
-File filename
Take the attributes from the specified file. The filename `-' is understood to mean the
standard input.
-Help
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegis program.
-Keep
This option may be used to retain files and/or directories usually deleted or replaced by the
command. Defaults to the user's delete_file_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for
more information.
-No_Keep
This option may be used to ensure that the files and/or directories are deleted or replaced by
the command. Defaults to the user's delete_file_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for
more information.
-List
This option may be used to obtain a list of suitable subjects for this command. The list may be
more general than expected.
-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.
-REAson text
This option may be used to provide the failure reason on the command line, rather than in a
file. You will need to use quotes to insulate the spaces from the shell.
-TERse
This option may be used to cause listings to produce the bare minimum of information. It is
usually useful for shell scripts.
-Verbose
This option may be used to cause aegis to produce more output. By default aegis only produces
output on errors. When used with the -List option this option causes column headings to be
added.
-Wait This option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access locks, if they cannot be
obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference if not specified, see
aeuconf(5) for more information.
-No_Wait
This option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error if access locks cannot
be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference if not specified, see
aeuconf(5) for more information.
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 aegis are long, this means
ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "--option=value" convention is also understood.
RECOMMENDED ALIAS
The recommended alias for this command is
csh% alias aeifail 'aegis -ifail \!* -v'
sh$ aeifail(){aegis -ifail "$@" -v}
ERRORS
It is an error if the change is not in the being integrated state.
It is an error if the change is not assigned to the current user.
EXIT STATUS
The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aegis 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.
