# obs-buildvc(1)

create a SUSE stype changes entry

## NAME

vs - create a SUSE stype changes entry

## SYNOPSIS

**vc** \[**-m** *message*\] \[**-e**\] \[*changesfile\_or\_dir* \[*commentfile*\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **vc** tool adds a new changes entry to a SUSE **.changes** file. The **-m** option can be used to directly specify the entry, if it is not given an editor is started to interactively enter the new changes entry. If a *commentfile* is given, its content is used as template for the new entry instead of an empty entry, whereas the **-e** option suppresses the creation of an empty entry.

If no *changesfile* is specified, **vc** will search the current directory for a file ending with **.changes**. If a directory is specified instead of a changes will, it will be searched instead.
