NAME
wx - tool to track changes to a workspace, follow ON gate rules and much more
SYNOPSIS
wx [<sub-command> [-D] [sub-command options]]

DESCRIPTION
"OS-Net build tools" "wx" "" "wx"

wx is a shell script to help the developer keep track of file changes in a workspace, follow the ON gate rules and much more.

Note, it is recommended that you use wx for all file manipulation instead of using sccs as this allows wx to automatically track changes in the workspace instead of having to use the update command. See http://onnv.eng/wx.html for more information about using wx. COMMANDS section

COMMANDS

10 -D The -D flag turns on debugging for any command. Debugging information is output to stderr.

access shorthand for "wx ws access_control"

active alias for list

apply <cmd> apply cmd to all active files; for example, "wx apply cat" cats every file

arcs [-u] display all ARC cases in check-in comments

args shorthand for "wx ws args"

backup [-i|-n|-z|-b|-t] make backup copies of all active and renamed files and certain wx state files (active, renamed, *.NOT). -i: info about backups (backup dir and contents) -n: no compression -z: use gzip, faster than bzip2 but less compression. -b: use bzip2, slower but better compression. Defaults to the compression of the previous backup. -t: backup if wx files are newer than last backup.

bu alias for backup command

bugs [-u] display all bugids in check-in comments

checkin Alias for delget command.

checkout Alias for edit command.

ci Alias for checkin command.

co Alias for checkout command.

codereview [codereview options] generate environmentally friendly codereview diffs for all active files.

comchk Warns if comments break ON rules.

comments display check-in comments for active files

copyright Warns if there is a problem with the copyright message in active files. Files listed in wx/copyright.NOT will be skipped.

create [-(c|C) comment_file] [-f] [-o] file [file ...] Creates one or more files in the workspace. (Updates active list) -c comment_file: see delget. -C comment_file: see delget. -f: force create regardless of warnings, (non-interactive). -o: also check out file for further editing.

cstyle run cstyle over all active .c and .h files. Files listed in wx/cstyle.NOT will be skipped.

delete [-f] [file ...] Delete one or more files from the workspace. Will delete all files in active list if no file args. Note, for files brought over from parent, this command actually moves the file under the deleted_files/ subdir so it can be recovered. For new files this command can remove the file and file history completely. (Updates active list if file is in there.) -f : force delete regardless of warnings (non-interactive) Warning, this will completely remove new files from the workspace. The backup command will be automatically run before doing delete -f.

delget [-(c|C) comment_file][-s][-f] [file ...] Check in all active files or files on command line (will do 'sccs create' for files without file histories). Check in comments will be those in active file. See 'wx comments' for more info. -c comment_file: use comment(s) in specified comment file when creating file(s). Note, each comment should be on new line, blank lines not allowed. The comments in the active list will be replaced by the comments in the comment_file for the files specified or all the entries in the active list if no files specified. -C comment_file: Similar to -c but comments are appended to current active list comments. -f: force checkin, no checks, non-interactive. Use this if your sure the files okay to checkin otherwise this command will check for keyword problems.

deltachk Warns if there is more than one sccs delta in active files (more than 1 breaks ON rules unless putting back more than 1 bug and then there should be at most 1 delta per bug if necessary). Files listed in wx/deltachk.NOT will be skipped.

diffs [file ...] show sccs diffs for files (current vs previous version). Will show diffs for all active files if no files given on command line. New files are not shown, use sub-command 'tdiffs' to include new files. Will use WXDIFFCMD environment variable if set. Hint, try: export WXDIFFCMD="diff -bw -U 5"

dir echo the wx directory path ($workspace/wx)

e <file> edit the named wx control file, e.g. "wx e active". The editor is $EDITOR if set, else vi.

ea shorthand for "wx e active" (edit active list). Note, the format for each entry in the active list is: filepath <empty line> # no spaces allowed one or more comment lines # no blank lines between. <empty line> # no spaces allowed, ends the entry. In general, it is best to only edit the active list to update comments. Use the other wx commands like edit or create to update the active list when possible.

edit [-s] [file ...] check out either file(s) on command line or all active files if no file args. (Updates the active list.) -s: silent, less sccs diagnostic output. This is true for the other commands that accept the -s flag.

egrep see wx grep

eval <cmd> like apply, but more general. In fact, "wx apply cmd" is implemented internally as "wx eval 'cmd $file'". When using eval, you can refer to $dir, $file, $filepath, $parent, and $workspace. For example: wx eval 'echo $dir; sccs prt $file | more' will show the sccs history for each active file, preceded by its directory.

extract Alias for get command.

fullreview [codereview options] generate full codereview diffs for all active files.

get [-k][-r #][-p] [file ...] Get a copy of all active files or files on command line. By default this is a read only version of the file. Accepts 'sccs get' flags. Here are some of the more common: -k: don't expand the sccs ID string -r #: get specified version # -p: output to stdout

grep <regular expression> search all active files for regular expression; equivalent to "wx eval \'echo $filepath; grep pattern $file'"

hdrchk run 'hdrchk -a' over all active .h files. Warns if header files (.h) do not conform to ON style rules. Note that this is not the same as running 'make check' or 'nightly -C', which apply a stricter set of rules to a subset of ON headers. Skips files in wx/hdrchk.NOT.

help print usage message

info [file ...] show all info about active files

init [options] [src-root-dir] initialize workspace for wx usage -f(t|q|n): non-interactive mode of update. Use this to keep init from asking questions. -ft: thorough update (update both active, renamed and new lists with all diffs between parent and current workspace). Can be slow. -fq: quick update (update active list with files currently checked out in current workspace). -fn: no update (just create empty active, renamed and new lists if they don't exist). -s: keep active list sorted by default. This will keep the active list sorted whenever the active list is updated. Must follow one of the -f(t|q|n) args. src-root-dir: optional path relative to top of workspace where wx will search for files. Use "." to set src-root to top of workspace. Default is usr/src.

jstyle run jstyle over all active .java files. Files listed in wx/jstyle.NOT will be skipped.

keywords run keywords check over all active files. Warns if it find problems with SCCS keywords. Skips files in wx/keywords.NOT.

list [-r|-p|-w] list active files (the ones you are working on) -r: list only renamed active files. -p: output list of both active and renamed files suitable for input to putback. -w: output list of both active and renamed files suitable for input to webrev (see wx webrev subcommand below).

makestyle run makestyle over all active Makefiles.

mv file newfile Rename file to newfile (Updates active list with new file name)

mv <file|dir> newdir Renames dir or file to newdir. If newdir exists then dir will be subdir under newdir. Note, this renames all files in dir and can take a while if there are a lot of files affected by the rename. (Updates active list)

nawk see wx grep

new [-t] List new active files (files that exist in child only) Note, should be run before reedit (see reedit below). -t: thorough, does not use new cache (slower but more accurate if new cache isn't current).

nits [file ...] nits checking. Run cstyle, jstyle, hdrchk, copyright, and keywords over files to which they are applicable (makestyle is not currently run because it seems to be quite broken -- more noise than data). This is a subset of pbchk checks suitable for checking files during development. Use pbchk before doing the final putback. Will run checks on all active files if no file args. Will skip checks for files listed in wx/nits.NOT.

out find all checked-out files in workspace

outchk Warns if there are files in the workspace that are checked out that are not in the active list. These files should either be in the active list (see the "update -q" command) or they should not be checked out.

pb alias for putback.

pbchk [file ...] putback check. Run cstyle, jstyle, hdrchk, copyright, keywords, rmdelchk, deltachk, comchk, rtichk and outchk over all files to which they are applicable (makestyle is not currently run because it seems to be quite broken -- more noise than data). Should be run before doing a putback. Will run checks on all active files if no file args. Will skip checks for files listed in wx/pbchk.NOT.

pbcom [-v] [-u] display summarized comments suitable for putback Default is to display only bugs and arc cases. Will display warnings about non-bug comments to stderr. -v: display all comments verbatim including non-bug/arc -u: prevent sorting, order determined by active list Hint, putback will accept comments on stdin.

pblist alias for list -p (see above).

pdiffs [file ...] show diffs against parent files Will show diffs for all active files if no files given on command line. New files are not shown, use sub-command 'tpdiffs' to include new files. Will use WXDIFFCMD environment variable if set.

prt [-y] show SCCS delta history for all active files -y: only show latest delta entry

putback [-v][other putback flags, see below] putback active and renamed files. Will use pbcom output as the putback comments. -v: pass comments verbatim to putback(see pbcom) Accepts -n, -p, -q putback flags ('man putback' for more info).

recheckin Alias for redelget command.

recheckout Alias for reedit command.

reci Alias for redelget command.

reco Alias for reedit command.

redelget [-m] [-s] [file ...] Similar to reedit but the file is checked in when the command is done. This is the command to use to collapse new files to their initial delta.

reedit [-m] [-s] [file ...] Collapse the sccs delta (file history) such that all changes made to the file in the current workspace are now in one delta. If no files are given on command line then all the active files are processed. The files are left in a checked out state so you can make further changes if required. If not, run "wx delget" to check the files in prior to putback. Note, newly created files will only have one delta entry after doing 'wx delget'. Run this right after a resolve to make all your changes look like a single delta. This eliminates the uninteresting leaf deltas that arise from resolving conflicts, so your putbacks do not contain a bunch of noise about every bringover/resolve you did in the interim. Accepts the same compression flags as wx backup. [file ...] reedits files on command line. This adds files to active list if not already there. NOTE: reedit is appropriate for leaf workspaces ONLY -- applying reedit to an interior-node workspace would delete all childrens comments and confuse Teamware tools in general. Before using reedit it's a good idea to check the output of the new command to make sure the list of new files looks okay. If files show up as new that are not then DO NOT use the reedit as it will destroy the file history. NOTE: if a file is new, reedit will leave the file checked out. In order to keep the delta version at 1.1 redelget must be used for checkin. -m: only reedit files that have more that one delta as compared to parent file. New files will be recreated with comment found in active list.

renamed [-a|-d|-p] list locally renamed files. The output format is: "new_name previous_name". Note, deleted files are a special case of rename. -a: list only renamed active files (same as list -r) -d: list only deleted files -p: show "new_name parent_name" (Note, parent_name may not be the same as previous_name)

reset [-f] [file ...] Resets file contents and history to that of parent file. If the file was renamed locally it will be reset to that of the parent. It does not work on new file (see uncreate). NOTE: use with care. If something goes wrong, do a wx restore from the last backup and copy wx/tmp/nametable.orig to Codemgr_wsdata/nametable.

resolve [Teamware resolve args] resolve bringover conflicts and reedit just merged files. See 'man resolve' for args.

restore [-f] [backup_dir] restore a backup in a workspace (restores both active files and performs file renames associated with that backup). Also restores certain wx state files (active, renamed, *.NOT, etc...). A path to the directory containing the backup to restore from can be optionally specified. -f: non-interactive. Will restore from last backup.

rm Alias for delete command.

rmdelchk Warns if sccs rmdel was run on active files (This causes Teamware problems.) Files listed in wx/rmdelchk.NOT will be skipped.

rtichk make sure RTI is approved for bugs/rfe's listed in active list comments. (RTI is Request To Integrate and is filed using rtitool). Will skip rtichk if wx/rtichk.NOT exists.

sed see wx grep

tdiffs [file ...] total diffs, similar to the diffs sub-command, except new files are also included in the output. New files are those listed by 'new' sub-command. Will use WXDIFFCMD environment variable if set.

tpdiffs [file ...] total parent diffs, similar to the pdiffs sub-command, except new files are also included in the output. tpdiffs considers a file to be new if it does not exist in the parent. Will use WXDIFFCMD environment variable if set.

uncheckout Alias for unedit command.

unco Alias for uncheckout command.

uncreate [-f] [file ...] Undoes the create of a new file. The file's active list entry, it's SCCS history and the entry in the workspace nametable will be removed but the file will stay in the workspace. Will uncreate all new files in active list if no file argument is specified.

unedit [-s][-f] [file ...] Returns file(s) to state prior to edit/checkout Note, files will be unlocked and any changes made when file was last checked out will be lost. Unedit all active files if no files listed on command line. (Updates active list) -f: force unedit (non-interactive). Will backup if wx files newer than last backup.

update [-q|-r] [-s] Update the active and renamed file lists by appending names of all files that have been checked out, changed or renamed as compared to the parent workspace. This is the most accurate way of updating but it is slow. All files in the workspace must be under SCCS control in order for update to find them. This command will also rename active list file entries if it discovers that the active file was renamed in the workspace (perhaps as a result of a bringover). Note, this command can be sped up in some cases by setting the PUTBACK env. variable to use "cm_env -g -o putback". (See http://webhome.holland.sun.com/casper/ for more info abou the turbo def.dir.flp tool). -q: quick update (only updates active list with files currently checked out in workspace). This is faster but will not update the renamed list or find files that have been checked-in/delget'ed. It will rename active entries if it finds they have been renamed in the workspace. -r: only update the renamed list. Does not update the active list. -s: sort active list.

version print current version of this program

webrev Generates a webrev for active and renamed/deleted files. Note, uses comments in the active list. This is the preferred way of reviewing code. Files listed in wx/webrev.NOT will be skipped.

ws <file> cat the named workspace control file, i.e. $workspace/Codemgr_wsdata/file

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Here is a list environment variables that wx references and the meaning of each variable.

BRINGOVER

Specifies the command wx uses to do a bringover (default is "bringover"). This is useful if you want to use something like Casper Dik's turbo-dir.flp scripts as in this example: export BRINGOVER='cm_env -g -o bringover'

PUTBACK

Specifies the command wx uses to do the putback (default is "putback"). This is useful if you want to use something like Casper Dik's turbo-dir.flp scripts as in this example: export PUTBACK='cm_env -g -o putback'

WXDIFFCMD

Specifies the diff command and args for the wx diffs commands like diffs and pdiffs. This is similar to the CDIFFCMD and UDIFFCMD environment variables that webrev uses. A good setting is: export WXDIFFCMD='diff -bw -U5'

WXDIR

Specifies a non-default directory where wx will store its state files. This is useful when running wx in a workspace where write permission isn't available or there is an existing wx directory which should not be modified. For example: $ WXDIR=/tmp/my_wxdir wx init

WXWEBREV

Specifies the webrev that wx will use when running the wx webrev subcommand. For example: $ WXWEBREV=~/bin/webrev wx webrev

EXAMPLES

See wx link in http://onnv.eng for examples of how to use wx.

BUGS

The new wx is slower that the old wx. There are probably ways to make it faster and hopefully this will be done one day.
