                List of projects.  See aegstate(5) for structure.

        Project_Change_State
                Internal project change state.  See aecstate(5) for structure.

        Project_Config_File
                The project configuration file.  See aepconf(5) for structure.

        Project_Files

                Internal project state.  See aepstate(5) for structure.

        The abbreviations foe the list names follows the same rules as for command line options.

OPTIONS

        The following options are understood:

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

        -List
                This option may be used to obtain a list of suitable subjects for this command.
                The list may be more general than expected.

        -Output filename
                This option may be used to specify the output file.  The output is sent to the
                standard output by default.  If the file name ends with ".gz" it will be
                compressed with the gzip(1) algorithm, if it ends with ".bz" or ".bz2" it will be
                compressed with the bzip2(1) algorithm.

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

EXIT STATUS

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