SYNOPSIS
-DELta_NAme [ option... ] name
-Help
-VERSion

DESCRIPTION
The -DELta_NAme command is used to add a symbolic name to a project delta. This is so that this name may be used, rather than the number, when extracting previous versions of the file using the aecp(1) command.

The -DELta number option on the command line specifies a delta number of the project. That is, it is the delta number assigned to an integration. Delta names may only be applied to project baselines. If no delta number is given on the command line, the current baseline is the default.

A name must be given on the command line. This is the name which will be assigned to the delta. If the name has already been used, you will be given a fatal error message. If you also specify the -OverWriting option the name will be removed from its previous delta and assigned to the requested delta.

OPTIONS
The following options are understood:

-DELta number
    This option may be used to specify a particular delta in the project's history to name.

-DELta_DAte string
    This option may be used to specify a particular date and time in the project's history.

-Delta_From_Change number
    This option may be used to specify a particular delta in the project's history, based on when the given change was successfully integrated.
