NAME

       getclose - Find PRs fixed in a particular release

SYNOPSIS

       getclose [OPTIONS] MIGRATION FREEZE LASTFREEZE

DESCRIPTION

       getclose uses the three dates specified on the commandline to find and label PRs fixed in a particular release.

       MIGRATION -- the date of the migration for the current release

       FREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the current release

       LASTFREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the previous release

RESULTS

       FIXED:foo:1234:the synopsis
       MAYBE:bar:1235:the synopsis

       Those  marked  FIXED  were closed before the migration into the current release. Those marked as MAYBE were closed after the migration, but
       before the freeze; thus, the fix may or may not have made it into the current release.  These need to be researched  to	find  out  if  the
       changes, if any, were included.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
		 Prints a brief usage message for getclose.

       -V, --version
		 Prints the version number for getclose.

       -d DATABASE, --database=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 HOSTNAME, --host=HOSTNAME
	      Hostname of the GNATS server.

       -P PORT, --port=PORT
	      The port that the GNATS server runs on.

       -v USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
	      Username used to log into the GNATS server.

       -w PASSWORD, --passwd=PASSWORD
	      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.
