NAME

        aelcf - list change files

SYNOPSIS

        aelcf [ option...  ]
        aelcf -Help
        aelcf -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

        The aelcf command is used to list the files which make up a change.  The file names are
        printed one per line on the output.

        If there are no files matching your criteria (see below) the output will be empty, and no
        error will be issued.

        This is very similar to the aegis -l cf listing, but it only lists file names, it lists
        no other attributes, and it is considerably faster.

        If your filenames have newlines in them, you have a problem.  You can use any of the
        posix_filename_charset, dos_filename_required, windows_filename_required, or shell_safe_‐
        filenames fields in your project configuration file to prevent this.  See aenf(1) and
        aepconf(5) for more information.

OPTIONS

        The following options are understood:

        -ACtion name
                This option may be used to specify which file actions you are interested in.
                Valid values are "create", "modify", "remove", etc, as may be observed in the
                Action column of the aegis -l pf listing.  The default is to list files with all
                actions except removed files.  You may use this option more than once.

        -Not_ACtion name
                This option may be used to exclude an action from the listing.  If no actions are
                explicitly included or excluded, the default is to exclude removed files.  You
                may use this option more than once.

        -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 aelcf
                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.

        -USAge name
                This option may be used to specify which file usages you are interested in.
                Valid values are "source", "test", etc, as may be observed in the Usage column of
                the aegis -l pf listing.  The default is to list files with all usages.  You may
                use this option more than once.

        -Not_USAge name
                This option may be used to exclude usages from the listing.  The default is to
                exclude no usages.  You may use this option more than once.

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

EXIT STATUS

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