NAME

        tkaenc - GUI interface for aenc, using TCL/TK

SYNOPSIS

        tkaenc

DESCRIPTION

        The tkaenc command is used to provide a GUI interface to aenc(1).  Its use should be
        self-evident to anyone familiar with Aegis.

        The top line of the screen contains button for selecting the project.  It will be
        defaulted using the usual Aegis defaulting rules.  Click on the buttons to obtain a pick
        list if you want to change it; then double-click an item to select it.  (I would have
        used tk_optionMenu, but it doesn't have a scroll bar, even when all the items don't fit
        on the screen.)

        The middle section contains text entry areas, for editing the brief_description and
        description fields of the change attributes.  The text wraps in a natural way, both here
        and in (say) the “tkaenc -list change_details” listing, so only use newlines to indicate
        end-of-paragraph.

        The lower section contains three boxes.  The first is the testing required for the change
        - select as many or as few as is appropriate.  The second a set of radio buttons to
        select the change cause - pick one.

        The third box is whether to begin development immediately (it will also run the aedb(1)
        command), or whether to leave the change in awaiting development.

        The “OK” and “Cancel” buttons do what you expect.  The cancel button simply quits.  The
        OK button runs the aenc(1) command - if anything goes wrong (e.g. asking for testing
        exemptions you can't have) then the error message will be displayed in the message area
        at the bottom of the window.

        The number of the change will be printed on a message on the standard output, just as for
        a normal aenc(1) command.

OPTIONS

        There are no command line options.

EXIT STATUS

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