## Definitions

### `dev.knotless.transferRepo`

**Type**: `procedure`

Names, in the repository's dev.knotless.repo record, the account and name it is offered to, as `knotless transfer` does, or with no `to` takes the offer back. It moves when that account takes it up (dev.knotless.acceptTransfer). A private repository cannot move. Only its owner, logged in to this appview's web pages, can: the appview writes with the session it keeps for that account, which the pages' session cookie names.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | No | The name it would have there: its own when absent. |
| `repo` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | The repository's dev.knotless.repo record, as dev.knotless.getRepo takes it. |
| `to` | `string` (at-identifier) | No | The account to offer it to, by handle or DID. Absent, the offer is withdrawn. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `transfer` | `ref` → `dev.knotless.defs#repoViewBasic` | No | Where it is offered now; absent once withdrawn. |

#### Errors

- **NotFound**: No such repository.
- **InvalidRequest**: The account is the owner's own, there is no such account, or the repository is private.
- **AuthenticationRequired**: No account is logged in to the pages, or its session has ended.
- **Forbidden**: The account logged in is not the repository's owner.
