EDACCT COMMANDS
The following interactive editing commands may be entered from standard input
if you do not include -A, -D, -C, or -L on the EDACCT command line. In all
cases, periods may be used instead of blanks to separate person, project, and
organization identifiers.
a [pers [proj [org [homedir [password]]]]]
Add a new account. The account is added AFTER the current account
(last one listed) unless you have positioned to the top (t). You
will be prompted for any fields omitted. Press <RETURN> to assign
the default, if appropriate. A space between two quotes may be used
to specify a blank password.
d [pers [proj [org]]]
Delete one or more accounts. If no fields are given, only the
current entry (last one listed) is deleted. % may be specified for
wildcard match, in which case all matching entries (from the top)
are deleted. If proj and/or org are omitted, % is assumed for them.
Verification of each deletion is requested. The last deleted entry
is saved and may be moved to a different place using 'i'.
i Insert the last deleted entry at the current location (after the
current entry or at the top).
t Move to the top of the file, before the first entry.
b Move to the bottom of the file, at the last entry.
[-]n Move up (-) or down "n" entries. Default is 1.
c [pers [proj [org]]]
Change one or more entries. If no arguments are specified, only the
current entry is changed. % specifies wildcard match. If proj
and/or org are omitted, % is assumed for them. If arguments are
given, the search begins at the top of the file. Wildcarded fields
are not eligible for changing. You will be prompted for each new
field in order. Press <RETURN> to keep a field unchanged.
l [pers [proj [org]]]
List the current entry (if no arguments are specified) or the first
matching entry, starting at the top. % may be used to specify
wildcard match.
la [pers [proj [org]]]
List all matching entries, starting at the top. % may be used to
specify wildcard match.
ln [pers [proj [org]]]
List the next matching entry, starting at the current entry. If no
arguments are given, the previous name specification is used.
lc List all the changed or new entries.
ll List the locality of the current entry, displaying the preceding and
succeeding 5 entries.
wr Update the file with all changes and exit.
q Quit without updating.
h [comm] Help -- list briefly all the available commands or a particular
command in detail.
