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

        Project_Config_File

        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.
