NAME
tkaenc - GUI interface for aenc, using TCL/TK
SYNOPSIS
tkaenc
DESCRIPTION
The tkaenc command is used to provide a GUI interface to aenc(1). Its
use should be self-evident to anyone familiar with Aegis.
The top line of the screen contains button for selecting the project.
It will be defaulted using the usual Aegis defaulting rules. Click on
the buttons to obtain a pick list if you want to change it; then
double-click an item to select it. (I would have used tk_optionMenu,
but it doesn’t have a scroll bar, even when all the items don’t fit on
the screen.)
The middle section contains text entry areas, for editing the
brief_description and description fields of the change attributes. The
text wraps in a natural way, both here and in (say) the “tkaenc -list
change_details” listing, so only use newlines to indicate end-of-
paragraph.
The lower section contains three boxes. The first is the testing
required for the change - select as many or as few as is appropriate.
The second a set of radio buttons to select the change cause - pick
one.
The third box is whether to begin development immediately (it will also
run the aedb(1) command), or whether to leave the change in awaiting
development.
The “OK” and “Cancel” buttons do what you expect. The cancel button
simply quits. The OK button runs the aenc(1) command - if anything
goes wrong (e.g. asking for testing exemptions you can’t have) then the
error message will be displayed in the message area at the bottom of
the window.
The number of the change will be printed on a message on the standard
output, just as for a normal aenc(1) command.
OPTIONS
There are no command line options.
EXIT STATUS
The tkaenc command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The
tkaenc 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.
