NAME

        aels - annotated directory listing

SYNOPSIS

        aels [ option...  ][ filename...  ]
        aels -Help
        aels -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

        The aels command is used to list information about the files and directories named on the
        command line.  If no files are named, the current directory is listed.

        The view presented is from Aegis' perspective.  It unifies the development directory with
        the baseline.

OPTIONS

        The following options are understood:

        -Recursive

        -LOng   This option implies the -Show-Mode, -Show-Attributes, -Show-User, -Show-Group,
                -Show-Size and -Show-When options, unless explicitly overridden.

        -Show-Dot-Files
                This option may be used to show files starting with a dot (.).

        -Hide-Dot-Files
                This option may be used to hide files starting with a dot (.).  This is the
                default.

        -Show-Removed-Files
                This option may be used to include removed files in the listing.

        -Hide-Removed-Files
                This option may be used to exclude removed files from the listing.  This is the
                default.

        -Show-Mode
                This option may be used to include the mode column in the listing.  The mode
                column indicates the file type and permissions.

        -Hide-Mode
                This option may be used to exclude the mode column from the listing.  This is the
                default.

        -Show-Attributes
                This option may be used to include the attributes column in the listing.  The
                attributes column indicates whether the file is part of the change, the project
                or neither; whether the file is being created, modified or removed; whether the
                file is a source file, a test file, or neither.  This is the default.

        -Hide-Attributes
                This option may be used to exclude the attributes column from the listing.

        -Show-User
                This option may be used to include file owner information in the listing.

        -Hide-User
                This option may be used to exclude file owner information from the listing.  This
                is the default.

        -Show-Group
                This option may be used to include file group information in the listing.

        -Hide-Group
                This option may be used to exclude file group information from the listing.  This
                is the default.

        -Show-Size
                This option may be used to include file size information in the listing.

        -Hide-Size
                This option may be used to exclude file size information from the listing.  This
                is the default.

        -Show-When
                This option may be used to include the file modification time in the listing.

        -Hide-When
                This option may be used to exclude the file modification time from the listing.
                This is the default.

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

        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 aels are long, this
        means ignoring the extra leading '-'.  The "--option=value" convention is also
        understood.

EXIT STATUS

        The aels command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The aels 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.
