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 re-
       lease

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

       LASTFREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the previous  re-
       lease


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 af-
       ter 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-sepa-
       rated 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.
