NAME

       file-pr - files incoming problem reports in GNATS database

SYNOPSIS

       file-pr [ -f file | --file=file ] [ -h | --help ]
       [ -V | --version ] [ -H host | --host=host ]
       [ -P port | --port=port ] [ -v user | --user=user ]
       [ -w password | --passwd=password ]
       [ -d databasename | --database=databasename ]

DESCRIPTION

       file-pr files incoming Problem Reports in the GNATS database, sends acknowledgments to approriate parties and logs database activity.

       file-pr  assigns the Problem Report an identification number and then files it in the GNATS database either under the category specified in
       the Category field of the PR, or under the default category if the Category field is nonexistent or contains an invalid category name.

       For the default GNATS configuration, the person responsible for that category and the person responsible for the submitter site  where  the
       PR  originated  receive  a copy of the PR in its entirety.  Optionally, the originator of the PR receives an acknowledgment that the PR ar-
       rived and was filed

OPTIONS

       -f file, --filename=file
              Accept file as input; if this option is not present, standard input is used.

       -h, --help
              Display usage summary for file-pr.

       -V, --version
              Display version number for file-pr.

       -d, --database
              Specifies the database to which the PR is to be submitted.  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.
