SYNOPSIS
aegis -Develop_Begin_Undo change-number [ option... ]
aegis -Develop_Begin_Undo -List [ option... ]
aegis -Develop_Begin_Undo -Help
DESCRIPTION
The aegis -Develop_Begin_Undo command is used to reverse the effects of the 'aegis -Develop_Begin'
command. The development directory is discarded, even if the change has files associated with it, and
even if the development directory is not empty; all files in the development directory will be lost.
The change is returned to the awaiting development state.

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.
-Help
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegis program.
-Interactive
Specify that aegis should ask the user for confirmation before deleting each file. Answer the
question yes to delete the file, or no to keep the file. You can also answer all to delete the
file and all that follow, or none to keep the file and all that follow.
Defaults to the user's delete_file_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for more
information.
If aegis is running in the background, the question will not be asked, and the files will be
deleted.
-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.
-New-Change-Undo
By using this option it is possible to end developemnt of the change, and remove the change, all
in the one command. The executing user must have both created the change and be the devloper of
the change, or must be a project administrator. (Order is important here, this option mast
appear on the command line after the -Develop-Begin-Undo option.
-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 attach a comment to the change history generated by this command.
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.
-User name
Ignored for backwards compatibility.
-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 aedbu 'aegis -dbu \!* -v'
sh$ aedbu(){aegis -dbu "$@" -v}
ERRORS
It is an error if the change is no assigned to the current user.
It is an error if the change is not in the being developed state.
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.
