NAME

        aefinish - finish a change

SYNOPSIS

        aefinish [ option...  ]
        aefinish -Help
        aefinish -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

        The  aefinish  command  is  used  to finish development or integration of a change set.  It examines the
        state of the change set, and executes the necessary Aegis commands to advance the change set to the next
        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 aefinish 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.

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

EXIT STATUS

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