# Each form is parsed into an array with four elements: commented text
# at the start of the form, an array with the order of keys, a hash with
# key/value pairs, and optional error text if the form syntax was wrong.

# Returns a reference to an array of parsed forms.

__DATA__

Title: intro
Title: introduction
Text:

    ** THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED PREVIEW RELEASE **
    ** PLEASE REPORT BUGS TO rt-bugs@fsck.com **

    This is a command-line interface to RT 3.

    It allows you to interact with an RT server over HTTP, and offers an
    interface to RT's functionality that is better-suited to automation
    and integration with other tools.

    In general, each invocation of this program should specify an action
    to perform on one or more objects, and any other arguments required
    to complete the desired action.

    For more information:

        - rt help actions       (a list of possible actions)
        - rt help objects       (how to specify objects)
        - rt help usage         (syntax information)

        - rt help config        (configuration details)
        - rt help examples      (a few useful examples)
        - rt help topics        (a list of help topics)

--

Title: usage
Title: syntax
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt <action> [options] [arguments]

    Each invocation of this program must specify an action (e.g. "edit",
    "create"), options to modify behaviour, and other arguments required
    by the specified action. (For example, most actions expect a list of
    numeric object IDs to act upon.)

    The details of the syntax and arguments for each action are given by
    "rt help <action>". Some actions may be referred to by more than one
    name ("create" is the same as "new", for example).  

    Objects are identified by a type and an ID (which can be a name or a
    number, depending on the type). For some actions, the object type is
    implied (you can only comment on tickets); for others, the user must
    specify it explicitly. See "rt help objects" for details.

    In syntax descriptions, mandatory arguments that must be replaced by
    appropriate value are enclosed in <>, and optional arguments are
    indicated by [] (for example, <action> and [options] above).

    For more information:

        - rt help objects       (how to specify objects)
        - rt help actions       (a list of actions)
        - rt help types         (a list of object types)

Title: conf
Title: config
Title: configuration
Text:

    This program has two major sources of configuration information: its
    configuration files, and the environment.

    The program looks for configuration directives in a file named .rtrc
    (or $RTCONFIG; see below) in the current directory, and then in more
    distant ancestors, until it reaches /. If no suitable configuration
    files are found, it will also check for ~/.rtrc and /etc/rt.conf.

    Configuration directives:

        The following directives may occur, one per line:

        - server <URL>          URL to RT server.
        - user <username>       RT username.
        - passwd <passwd>       RT user's password.

        Blank and #-commented lines are ignored.

    Environment variables:

        The following environment variables override any corresponding
        values defined in configuration files:

        - RTUSER
        - RTPASSWD
        - RTSERVER
        - RTDEBUG       Numeric debug level. (Set to 3 for full logs.)
        - RTCONFIG      Specifies a name other than ".rtrc" for the
                        configuration file.

--

Title: objects
Text:

    Syntax:

        <type>/<id>[/<attributes>]

    Every object in RT has a type (e.g. "ticket", "queue") and a numeric
    ID. Some types of objects can also be identified by name (like users
    and queues). Furthermore, objects may have named attributes (such as
    "ticket/1/history").

    An object specification is like a path in a virtual filesystem, with
    object types as top-level directories, object IDs as subdirectories,
    and named attributes as further subdirectories.

    A comma-separated list of names, numeric IDs, or numeric ranges can
    be used to specify more than one object of the same type. Note that
    the list must be a single argument (i.e., no spaces). For example,
    "user/root,1-3,5,7-10,ams" is a list of ten users; the same list
    can also be written as "user/ams,root,1,2,3,5,7,8-20".
    
    Examples:

        ticket/1
        ticket/1/attachments
        ticket/1/attachments/3
        ticket/1/attachments/3/content
        ticket/1-3/links
        ticket/1-3,5-7/history

        user/ams
        user/ams/rights
        user/ams,rai,1/rights

    For more information:

        - rt help <action>      (action-specific details)
        - rt help <type>        (type-specific details)

--

Title: actions
Title: commands
Text:

    You can currently perform the following actions on all objects:

        - list          (list objects matching some condition)
        - show          (display object details)
        - edit          (edit object details)
        - create        (create a new object)

    Each type may define actions specific to itself; these are listed in

--

Title: logout
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt logout

    Terminates the currently established login session. You will need to
    provide authentication credentials before you can continue using the
    server. (See "rt help config" for details about authentication.)

--

Title: ls
Title: list
Title: search
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt <ls|list|search> [options] "query string"

    Displays a list of objects matching the specified conditions.
    ("ls", "list", and "search" are synonyms.)

    Conditions are expressed in the SQL-like syntax used internally by
    RT3. (For more information, see "rt help query".) The query string
    must be supplied as one argument.

    (Right now, the server doesn't support listing anything but tickets.
    Other types will be supported in future; this client will be able to
    take advantage of that support without any changes.)

    Options:

        The following options control how much information is displayed
        about each matching object:

        -i      Numeric IDs only. (Useful for |rt edit -; see examples.)
        -s      Short description.
        -l      Longer description.

        In addition,
        
        -o +/-<field>   Orders the returned list by the specified field.
        -S var=val      Submits the specified variable with the request.
        -t type         Specifies the type of object to look for. (The
                        default is "ticket".)

    Examples:

        rt ls "Priority > 5 and Status='new'"
        rt ls -o +Subject "Priority > 5 and Status='new'"
        rt ls -o -Created "Priority > 5 and Status='new'"
        rt ls -i "Priority > 5"|rt edit - set status=resolved
        rt ls -t ticket "Subject like '[PATCH]%'"

--

Title: show
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt show [options] <object-ids>

    Displays details of the specified objects.

    For some types, object information is further classified into named
    attributes (for example, "1-3/links" is a valid ticket specification
    that refers to the links for tickets 1-3). Consult "rt help <type>"
    and "rt help objects" for further details.

    This command writes a set of forms representing the requested object
    data to STDOUT.

    Options:

        -               Read IDs from STDIN instead of the command-line.
        -t type         Specifies object type.
        -f a,b,c        Restrict the display to the specified fields.
        -S var=val      Submits the specified variable with the request.

    Examples:

        rt show -t ticket -f id,subject,status 1-3
        rt show ticket/3/attachments/29
        rt show ticket/3/attachments/29/content
        rt show ticket/1-3/links
        rt show -t user 2

Title: new
Title: edit
Title: create
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt edit [options] <object-ids> set field=value [field=value] ...
                                       add field=value [field=value] ...
                                       del field=value [field=value] ...

    Edits information corresponding to the specified objects.

    If, instead of "edit", an action of "new" or "create" is specified,
    then a new object is created. In this case, no numeric object IDs
    may be specified, but the syntax and behaviour remain otherwise
    unchanged.

    This command typically starts an editor to allow you to edit object
    data in a form for submission. If you specified enough information
    on the command-line, however, it will make the submission directly.

    The command line may specify field-values in three different ways.
    "set" sets the named field to the given value, "add" adds a value
    to a multi-valued field, and "del" deletes the corresponding value.
    Each "field=value" specification must be given as a single argument.

    For some types, object information is further classified into named
    attributes (for example, "1-3/links" is a valid ticket specification
    that refers to the links for tickets 1-3). These attributes may also
    be edited. Consult "rt help <type>" and "rt help object" for further
    details.

    Options:

        -       Read numeric IDs from STDIN instead of the command-line.
                (Useful with rt ls ... | rt edit -; see examples below.)
        -i      Read a completed form from STDIN before submitting.
        -o      Dump the completed form to STDOUT instead of submitting.
        -e      Allows you to edit the form even if the command-line has
                enough information to make a submission directly.
        -S var=val
                Submits the specified variable with the request.
        -t type Specifies object type.

    Examples:

        # Interactive (starts $EDITOR with a form).
        rt edit ticket/3
        rt create -t ticket

        # Non-interactive.
        rt edit ticket/1-3 add cc=foo@example.com set priority=3
        rt ls -t tickets -i 'Priority > 5' | rt edit - set status=resolved
        rt edit ticket/4 set priority=3 owner=bar@example.com \
                         add cc=foo@example.com bcc=quux@example.net
        rt create -t ticket subject='new ticket' priority=10 \
                            add cc=foo@example.com

--

Title: comment
Title: correspond
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt <comment|correspond> [options] <ticket-id>

    Adds a comment (or correspondence) to the specified ticket (the only
    difference being that comments aren't sent to the requestors.)

    This command will typically start an editor and allow you to type a
    comment into a form. If, however, you specified all the necessary
    information on the command line, it submits the comment directly.

    (See "rt help forms" for more information about forms.)

    Options:

        -m <text>       Specify comment text.
        -a <file>       Attach a file to the comment. (May be used more
                        than once to attach multiple files.)
        -c <addrs>      A comma-separated list of Cc addresses.
        -b <addrs>      A comma-separated list of Bcc addresses.
        -w <time>       Specify the time spent working on this ticket.
        -e              Starts an editor before the submission, even if
                        arguments from the command line were sufficient.

    Examples:

        rt comment -t 'Not worth fixing.' -a stddisclaimer.h 23

--

Title: merge
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt merge <from-id> <to-id>

    Merges the two specified tickets.

--

Title: link
Text:

    Syntax:

        rt link [-d] <id-A> <relationship> <id-B>

    Creates (or, with -d, deletes) a link between the specified tickets.
    The relationship can (irrespective of case) be any of:

        DependsOn/DependedOnBy:     A depends upon B (or vice versa).
        RefersTo/ReferredToBy:      A refers to B (or vice versa).
        MemberOf/HasMember:         A is a member of B (or vice versa).

    To view a ticket's relationships, use "rt show ticket/3/links". (See
    "rt help ticket" and "rt help show".)

    Options:

        -d      Deletes the specified link.

    Examples:

        rt link 2 dependson 3
        rt link -d 4 referredtoby 6     # 6 no longer refers to 4

Title: query
Text:

    RT3 uses an SQL-like syntax to specify object selection constraints.
    See the <RT:...> documentation for details.
    
    (XXX: I'm going to have to write it, aren't I?)

--

Title: form
Title: forms
Text:

    This program uses RFC822 header-style forms to represent object data
    in a form that's suitable for processing both by humans and scripts.

    A form is a set of (field, value) specifications, with some initial
    commented text and interspersed blank lines allowed for convenience.
    Field names may appear more than once in a form; a comma-separated
    list of multiple field values may also be specified directly.
    
    Field values can be wrapped as in RFC822, with leading whitespace.
    The longest sequence of leading whitespace common to all the lines
    is removed (preserving further indentation). There is no limit on
    the length of a value.

    Multiple forms are separated by a line containing only "--\n".

    (XXX: A more detailed specification will be provided soon. For now,
    the server-side syntax checking will suffice.)
