NAME

aegis review begin - begin a change review

SYNOPSIS

aegis -Review_Begin [ option... ]
aegis -Review_Begin -List [ option... ]
aegis -Review_Begin -Help

DESCRIPTION

The aegis -Review_Begin command is used to notify aegis that you have begun to review a
change.

The change will be advanced from the awaiting review state to the being reviewed state.
boxwid = 1 down S1: box "awaiting" "review" arrow " review" ljust " begin" ljust S2: box
"being" "reviewed" T1: spline -> from S2.w then left 0.5 then up 1 then to S1.w " review"
ljust " begin" ljust " undo" ljust at T1.c-(0.5,0)

Notification
If the review_begin_notify_command has been set in the project attributes, this command
will be run. This is usually used to tell other reviewers that you have started review,
and they need not. See aepattr(5) and aepa(1) for more information.

If used when the develop_end_action project attribute is set to goto_being_reviewed, then
only the notification message is sent.

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.

-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) 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 attach a comment to the change history generated by
this command. 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 aerb 'aegis -rb \!* -v'
sh$ aerb(){aegis -rb "$@" -v}

ERRORS

It is an error if the change is not in the awaiting review state.
It is an error if the current user is not a reviewer of the project.
Its is an error if the current user developed the change and the project is configured to
not permit developers to review their own changes (default).

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.
