## DESCRIPTION

The *aexml* command is used to extract portions of Aegis' database in XML format.

### List Names

The following list names may be given

- Change\_Files

  Internal change file state. See [*aefstate*(5)](/aefstate/5.md) for structure.

- Change\_State

  Internal change state. See [*aecstate*(5)](/aecstate/5.md) for structure.

- Projects

  List of projects. See [*aegstate*(5)](/aegstate/5.md) for structure.

- Project\_Change\_State

  Internal project change state. See [*aecstate*(5)](/aecstate/5.md) for structure.

- Project\_Config\_File

  The project configuration file. See [*aepconf*(5)](/aepconf/5.md) for structure.

- Project\_Files

  Internal project file state. See [*aefstate*(5)](/aefstate/5.md) for structure.

- Project\_State

  Internal project state. See [*aepstate*(5)](/aepstate/5.md) for structure.

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)](/gzip/1.md) algorithm, if it ends with ".bz" or ".bz2" it will be compressed with the [*bzip2*(1)](/bzip2/1.md) algorithm.

See also [*aexml*(1)](/aexml/1.md) for options common to all aexml 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)](/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.\
