DESCRIPTION
The aegis -Integrate_Fail command is used to inform aegis that a change
has failed integration.
The change will be returned from the being integrated state to the
being developed state. The change will cease to be assigned to the
current user, and will be reassigned to the originating developer. The
integration directory will be deleted. boxwid = 1 down S2: box "being"

The reviewer and the developer will be notified by mail. See the
integrate_fail_notify_command in aepconf(5) for more information.
The reason-file will contain a description of why the change was
failed. The file is in plain text. It is recommended that you only
use newline to terminate paragraphs, (rather than to terminate lines)
as with will result in better formatting in the various listings.
Notification
On successful completion of this command, the integrate_fail_notify_
command field of the project attributes is run, if set. See aepattr(5)
and aepa(1) 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) for a complete description of this
option.
-Edit
Edit the attributes with a text editor, this is usually more
convenient than supplying a text file. The VISUAL and then
EDITOR environment variables are consulted for the name of the
editor to use; defaults to vi(1) if neither is set. See the
visual_command and editor_command fields in aeuconf(1) for how
to override this specifically for Aegis.
Warning: Aegis tries to be well behaved when faced with errors,
so the temporary file is left in your home directory where you
can edit it further and re-use it with a -file option.
The -edit option may not be used in the background, or when the
standard input is not a terminal.
-Edit_BackGround
Edit the attributes with a dumb text editor, this is most often
desired when edit commands are being piped into the editor via
the standard input. Only the EDITOR environment variable is
consulted for the name of the editor to use; it is a fatal
error if it is not set. See the editor_command field in
aeuconf(1) for how to override this specifically for Aegis.
-File filename
Take the attributes from the specified file. The filename ‘-’
is understood to mean the standard input.
-Help
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to
use the aegis program.
-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)
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) 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.
-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) 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 provide the failure reason on the
command line, rather than in a file. 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.
-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) 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) for more information.
See also aegis(1) 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 aeifail ’aegis -ifail \!* -v’
sh$ aeifail(){aegis -ifail "$@" -v}
ERRORS
It is an error if the change is not in the being integrated state.
It is an error if the change is not assigned to the current user.
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) 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.
