NAME

aegis remove file undo - remove files to be deleted from a change

SYNOPSIS

aegis -ReMove_file_Undo file‐name... [ option... ]
aegis -ReMove_file_Undo -List [ option... ]
aegis -ReMove_file_Undo -Help

DESCRIPTION

The aegis -ReMove_file_Undo command is used to remove files to be deleted from a change. The files is removed from the list of files in the change.

You may specify a directory name to delete from the change all files being removed in the named directory tree, other files in the tree will be ignored. It is an error if there are no relevant files.

File Name Interpretation

The aegis program will attempt to determine the project file names from the file names given on the command line. All file names are stored within aegis projects as relative to the root of the baseline directory tree. The development directory and the integration directory are shadows of this baseline directory, and so these relative names apply here, too. Files named on the command line are first converted to absolute paths if necessary. They are then compared with the baseline path, the development directory path, and the integration directory path, to determine a baseline‐relative name. It is an error if the file named is outside one of these directory trees.

The -BAse_RElative option may be used to cause relative filenames to be interpreted as relative to the baseline path; absolute filenames will still be compared with the various paths in order to determine a baseline‐relative name.

The relative_filename_preference in the user configuration file may be used to modify this default behavior. See aeuconf(5) for more information.

Notification

The remove_file_undo_command in the project config file is run, if set. The project_file_command is also run, if set, and if there has been an integration recently. See aepconf(5) for more information.

Process Side Effects

This command will cancel any build or test registrations, because deleting a file logically invalidates them.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-BAse_RElative: This option may be used to cause relative filenames to be considered relative to the base of the source tree. See aeuconf(5) for the corresponding user preference.
-CUrrent_RElative: This option may be used to cause relative filenames to be considered relative to the current directory. This is usually the default. See aeuconf(5) for the corresponding user preference.
-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.
-List: This option may be used to obtain a list of suitable subjects for this command. The list may be more general than expected.
-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.
-TERse: This option may be used to cause listings to produce the bare minimum of information. It is usually useful for shell scripts.
-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.
-Verify_Symbolic_Links: This option may be used to request that the symbolic links, or hard links, or file copies, in the work area be updated to reflect the current state of the baseline. This is controlled by the development_directory_style field of the project configuration file. Only files which are not involved in the change are updated. See also the “symbolic_links_preference” field of aeuconf(5). This option is the default, if meaningful for your configuration. The name is an historical accident, hard links and file copies are included.
-Assume_Symbolic_Links: This option may be used to request that no update of baseline mirror files take place. This options is useful when you definitely know the files' up‐to‐date‐ness isn't important right now; incorrect use of this option may have unanticipated build side‐effects. See also the “symbolic_links_preference” field of aeuconf(5). This option is the default, if not meaningful for your configuration. The name is an historical accident, hard links and file copies are included.
-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 aermu 'aegis -rmu \!* -v'
sh$     aermu(){aegis -rmu "$@" -v}

ERRORS

It is an error if the change is not in the being developed state.
It is an error if the change is not assigned to the current user.
It is an error if the file is not in the change.
It is an error if the was not added to the change using the aegis -ReMove_file command.

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.
