--- name: "aedbu" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "aegis" version: "4.24.3-3" release: "Debian 8 (Jessie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/aedbu" --- # aedbu(1) undo the effects of aedb ## NAME aegis develop begin undo - undo the effects of aedb ## 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. boxwid = 1 down S1: box "awaiting" "development" arrow " develop" ljust " begin" ljust S2: box "being" "developed" T1: spline -\> from S2.w then left 0.75 then up 11/12 then to 1/3\ " develop" ljust " begin" ljust " undo" ljust at T1.c - (0.75,0) ### Notification The *develop\_begin\_undo\_command* field of the project *config* file is run, if set. See [*aepconf*(5)](/aepconf/5.md) for more information. ## OPTIONS The following options are understood: - **-Change** *number* This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) 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)](/aeuconf/5.md) 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)](/aeuconf/5.md) 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)](/aeuconf/5.md) 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)](/aeuconf/5.md) 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)](/aeuconf/5.md) 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)](/aeuconf/5.md) for more information. See also [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) 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)](/aegis/1.md) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See [*aepconf*(5)](/aepconf/5.md) for the project configuration file's *project\_specific* field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.\ ## SEE ALSO - [*aedb*(1)](/aedb/1.md) begin development of a change - [*aeuconf*(5)](/aeuconf/5.md) user configuration file format\ ## COPYRIGHT aegis version 4.24.3.D001\ Copyright (C) 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Peter Miller The aegis program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use the '*aegis -VERSion License*' command.
