    Display usage summary for file-pr.

-V, --version
    Display version number for file-pr.

-d, --database
    Specifies the database to which the PR is to be submitted. 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, --host
    Hostname of the GNATS server.

-P, --port
    The port that the GNATS server runs on.

-v, --username
    Username used to log into the GNATS server.

-w, --passwd

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-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.
