DESCRIPTION
The anno command is used to annotate messages with specified text and dates.
The anno command is part of the Message Handling (MH) package and can be used
with other MH and AIX commands.
The anno command annotates messages with the lines:
Processed November 8, 1990 ANNO(1m,C) 1
ANNO(1m,C) AIX Commands Reference ANNO(1m,C)
field:date
field:body
Although dist, forw, and repl enable you to perform annotations, their
annotations are limited to adding distribution information to messages. The
anno command enables you to perform arbitrary annotations. The annotation
fields must contain alphanumeric characters and dashes only.
FLAGS
-component field Specifies the field name for the annotation text. The field
name must be a valid message field name, consisting of
alphanumeric characters and dashes only. If you do not
specify this flag, anno prompts you for the name of the
field.
+folder msgs Specifies the messages that you want to annotate. msgs can
be several messages, a range of messages, or a single
message. You can use the following message references when
specifying msgs:
num first prev
cur . next
last all sequence
The default message is the current message in the current
folder. If several messages are specified, the first
message annotated becomes the current message. If you
specify a folder, that folder becomes the current folder.
-help Displays help information for the command.
-inplace Forces annotation to be done in place in order to preserve
links to the annotated messages.
-noinplace Does not perform annotation in place. This flag is the
default.
-text string Specifies the text to be annotated to the messages.
PROFILE ENTRIES
Current-Folder: Sets your default current folder.
Path: Specifies your user_mh_directory.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The MH user profile.
