NAME

        tkaenc - GUI interface for aenc, using TCL/TK

SYNOPSIS

        tkaenc

DESCRIPTION

        The  tkaenc  command  is  used to provide a GUI interface to aenc(1).  Its use should be self-evident to
        anyone familiar with Aegis.

        The top line of the screen contains button for selecting the project.  It will be  defaulted  using  the
        usual Aegis defaulting rules.  Click on the buttons to obtain a pick list if you want to change it; then
        double-click  an item to select it.  (I would have used tk_optionMenu, but it doesn't have a scroll bar,
        even when all the items don't fit on the screen.)

        The middle section contains text entry areas, for editing the brief_description and  description  fields
        of  the  change  attributes.   The text wraps in a natural way, both here and in (say) the “tkaenc -list
        change_details” listing, so only use newlines to indicate end-of-paragraph.

        The lower section contains three boxes.  The first is the testing required for the change  -  select  as
        many  or  as few as is appropriate.  The second a set of radio buttons to select the change cause - pick
        one.

        The third box is whether to begin development immediately (it will also run  the  aedb(1)  command),  or
        whether to leave the change in awaiting development.

        The  “OK”  and “Cancel” buttons do what you expect.  The cancel button simply quits.  The OK button runs
        the aenc(1) command - if anything goes wrong (e.g. asking for testing exemptions you  can't  have)  then
        the error message will be displayed in the message area at the bottom of the window.

        The  number  of  the  change  will  be printed on a message on the standard output, just as for a normal
        aenc(1) command.

OPTIONS

        There are no command line options.

EXIT STATUS

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