# aencu(1)

remove a new change from a project

## NAME

aegis new change undo - remove a new change from a project

## SYNOPSIS

**aegis** **-New\_Change\_Undo** \[ *option*... \]\
 **aegis** **-New\_Change\_Undo** **-List** \[ *option*... \]\
 **aegis** **-New\_Change\_Undo** **-Help**

## DESCRIPTION

The *aegis* *-New\_Change\_Undo* command is used to remove a new change from a project.

It wasn't called *'aegis -Remove\_Change'* in order to emphasize that fact the the change must be in the *awaiting development* state. In practice it is possible, with a combination of commands, to remove any change which has not reached the *completed* boxwid = 1 down S0: arrow " new" ljust " change" ljust S1: box "awaiting" "development" arrow " develop" ljust " begin" ljust S2: box "being" "developed" spline -\> from 1/3\<S1.nw,S1.sw\> then left 0.75 then up 2/3 "new" "change" "undo" T1: spline -\> from S2.w then left 0.75 then up 11/12 	then to 1/3\<S1.sw,S1.nw\> " develop" ljust " begin" ljust " undo" ljust at T1.c - (0.75,0) state.

In general, only project administrators may destroy changes. However, if the project *developers\_may\_create\_changes* attribute is true, and you are a developer and you created a particular change, you may also destroy it.

### Notification

This is one of the rare "state transitions" which does not have a notification command.  The assumption is this command is invoked by the system which usually receives notifications.  It's probably a bad assumption.

## 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.

- **-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)](/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.

- **-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.

- **-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 aencu 'aegis -ncu \!* -v'
sh$	aencu(){aegis -ncu "$@" -v}
```

## ERRORS

It is an error if the change is not in the *awaiting development* state.\
 It is an error if any use other than a project administrator or the creator of the change attempts to run this 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)](/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.\
