DESCRIPTIONfile-pr files incoming Problem Reports in the GNATS database, sends ac‐
knowledgments to approriate parties and logs database activity.
file-pr assigns the Problem Report an identification number and then
files it in the GNATS database either under the category specified in
the Category field of the PR, or under the default category if the Cat‐
egory field is nonexistent or contains an invalid category name.
For the default GNATS configuration, the person responsible for that
category and the person responsible for the submitter site where the PR
originated receive a copy of the PR in its entirety. Optionally, the
originator of the PR receives an acknowledgment that the PR arrived and
was filed

-d, --database

vironment variable.

The port that the GNATS server runs on.
-v, --username
Username 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 ac‐
cess.
For network access via gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated 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.
