DESCRIPTION
Calls

when finished editing, refiles
gnats-id

GNATS
database, updating the index and sending mail to relevant parties.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
- Prints a brief usage message for
edit-pr.
- -V, --version
- Prints the version number for
edit-pr.
- -d, --database
- Specifies the database containing the PR to be edited; if no database is
specified, the database named default is assumed. This option
overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment variable.
GNATS network options:
- -H, --host
- Hostname of the GNATS server.
- -P, --port
- The port that the GNATS server runs on.
- -v, --username
- Username used to log into the GNATS server.
- -w, --passwd
- Password used to log into the GNATS server.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to
use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access.
For network access via gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated list
of strings that describe the remote database, in the form
- server:port:databasename:username:password
- Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear;
otherwise, the value is assumed to be the name of a local database.
If GNATSDB is not set, it is assumed that the database is local
and that its name is default.
