44: .Sh DESCRIPTION
45: The
46: .Nm
47: program acts as both client and server for the use of and administration of
48: a CVS source repository.
49: CVS is used to maintain version information on files that are kept in a
50: repository.
51: Although it is more commonly used to track changes in source code, there
52: are no real limitations to the type of files that you can store in a
53: repository.
1.35 jmc 54: For a general introduction to CVS, see
55: .Xr cvsintro 7 .
1.1 jfb 56: .Pp
1.7 jfb 57: .Nm
1.35 jmc 58: reads its startup configuration file,
59: .Pa .cvsrc ,
1.7 jfb 60: from the home directory of the user who invoked it.
61: This file is used to specify implicit options passed to
62: .Nm
63: or one of its commands whenever it is invoked.
1.35 jmc 64: The defaults in the configuration file can be overridden with the
65: .Fl f
66: option (see below).
1.16 jmc 67: See
68: .Xr cvsrc 5
69: for further information.
1.7 jfb 70: .Pp
1.1 jfb 71: The following options are supported:
1.15 jmc 72: .Bl -tag -width "-e editorXX"
1.1 jfb 73: .It Fl d Ar root
74: Use
75: .Ar root
76: as the path to the root directory of the CVS repository.
77: The value must specify an absolute path.
78: .It Fl e Ar editor
79: Use the program
80: .Ar editor
81: whenever editing log information.
1.8 jmc 82: This option overrides the environment variables CVSEDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR.
1.1 jfb 83: .It Fl f
1.7 jfb 84: Do not read the user's configuration file on startup.
1.1 jfb 85: .It Fl l
86: Suppress logging of history information.
87: .It Fl Q
88: Be extra quiet.
89: Only error messages will be displayed.
90: .It Fl q
91: Be quiet about reporting.
1.20 jmc 92: .It Fl s Ar var Ns = Ns Ar val
93: Set the value of the internal variable
94: .Ar var
95: to the string
96: .Ar val .
1.15 jmc 97: .It Fl t
98: Trace program execution.
1.1 jfb 99: .It Fl v
100: Display version information and exit.
1.15 jmc 101: .It Fl z Ar level
102: Specify the compression level to
103: .Xr gzip 1
104: when transferring files.
105: The compression level ranges from 1 to 9,
106: with 1 being the fastest,
107: and 9 providing the best level of compression.
108: The default is 6.
1.45 xsa 109: .El
110: .Sh KEYWORD SUBSTITUTION
111: As long as you edit source files inside a working directory you
112: can always find out the state of your files via the
113: .Ic status
114: or
115: .Ic log
116: commands, but as soon as files get exported from
117: your local working copy, it becomes harder to identify which
118: revisions they are.
119: .Pp
120: .Nm
121: can use a mechanism known as
122: .Sq keyword substitution
123: to help identify the files.
124: Embedded strings of the form $keyword$ and $keyword:...$ in a file
125: are replaced with strings of the form $keyword: value$ whenever you
126: obtain a new revision of the file.
127: The possible keywords are as follows:
128: .Bl -tag -width "RevisionXXX"
1.48 xsa 129: .It $\&Author$
1.45 xsa 130: The name of the user who checked in the revision.
1.48 xsa 131: .It $\&Date$
1.45 xsa 132: The date and hour (UTC) the revision was checked in.
1.48 xsa 133: .It $\&Header$
1.45 xsa 134: Standard header containing the full pathname of the RCS
135: file, the revision number, the date (UTC), the author and the state.
1.48 xsa 136: .It $\&Id$
137: The same content as $\&Header$ but without the path
1.45 xsa 138: of the RCS file.
1.48 xsa 139: .It $\&Log$
1.45 xsa 140: The log message supplied during commit, preceded by a header
141: containing the RCS filename, the revision number, the
142: author, and the date (UTC).
1.48 xsa 143: .It $\&Name$
1.45 xsa 144: The tag name used to check out the file.
1.48 xsa 145: .It $\&RCSfile$
1.45 xsa 146: The name of the RCS file, but without a path.
1.48 xsa 147: .It $\&Revision$
1.45 xsa 148: The revision number assigned to the revision.
1.48 xsa 149: .It $\&Source$
1.45 xsa 150: The full pathname of the RCS file.
1.48 xsa 151: .It $\&State$
1.45 xsa 152: The state assigned to the revision.
153: .El
154: .Pp
155: Keyword substitution has its disadvantages: sometimes the
1.48 xsa 156: literal text string $\&Author$ is wanted inside a file without
1.45 xsa 157: .Nm
158: interpreting it as a keyword and expanding it into something like
1.48 xsa 159: $\&Author$.
1.45 xsa 160: The
161: .Fl k Ar o
1.48 xsa 162: option can be used to turn off keyword substitution entirely though.
1.45 xsa 163: There is unfortunately no way to selectively turn off keyword substitution.
164: .Pp
165: Each file and working directory copy of a file have a stored
166: default substitution mode.
167: Substitution modes on files are set by the
168: .Fl k Ar mode
169: option to the
170: .Ic add
171: and
172: .Ic admin
173: commands or by the
174: .Fl k Ar mode
175: or
176: .Fl A
177: options to the
178: .Ic checkout
179: or
180: .Ic update
181: commands.
182: .Pp
183: The possible substitution modes are as follows:
184: .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset 3n
185: .It Fl k Ar b
186: Like
187: .Fl k Ar o ,
188: but also avoids the conversion of line endings.
189: This option is used to handle binary files.
190: .It Fl k Ar k
191: Does not substitute the keywords.
192: Useful with the
193: .Ic diff
194: command to avoid displaying the differences between keyword substitutions.
195: .It Fl k Ar kv
196: The default behaviour.
1.48 xsa 197: Keywords are normally substituted i.e. $\&Revision$ becomes
198: $\&Revision: 1.1 $.
1.45 xsa 199: .It Fl k Ar kvl
200: Like
201: .Fl k Ar kv ,
202: except that the locker's name is displayed along with the version
203: if the given revision is currently locked.
204: This option is normally not useful as
205: .Nm
206: does not use file locking by default.
207: .It Fl k Ar o
208: No substitutions are done.
209: This option is often used with the
210: .Ic import
211: command to guarantee that files that already contain external keywords
212: do not get modified.
213: .It Fl k Ar v
214: Substitue the value of keywords instead of keywords themselves
1.48 xsa 215: e.g. instead of $\&Revision$, only insert 1.1 and not $\&Revision: 1.1 $.
1.45 xsa 216: This option must be used with care, as it can only be used once.
217: It is often used with the
218: .Ic export
219: command to freeze the values before releasing software.
1.1 jfb 220: .El
221: .Sh COMMANDS
1.3 jfb 222: The following commands are supported by
1.44 jmc 223: .Nm :

1.42 xsa 225: .It Xo Ic add

227: .Op Fl m Ar msg
228: .Ar file ...
1.3 jfb 229: .Xc
1.7 jfb 230: .Pp
1.42 xsa 231: Before a file is known to
232: .Nm ,
233: it must be added to the repository using this command.
1.1 jfb 234: Adding a file does not actually publish the contents of the
1.42 xsa 235: file: the
1.11 jmc 236: .Ic commit
1.42 xsa 237: command must also be used to publish it into the repository,
238: and thus let others access the file.
239: .Pp
240: Note: since directories have no versioning system, it is sufficient
241: to add them with the
242: .Ic add
243: command alone; the
244: .Ic commit
245: command is not necessary.
1.1 jfb 246: .Pp
1.35 jmc 247: The
248: .Ic add
249: command takes the following options:
250: .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset 3n

252: Specify the keyword substitution mode.
1.35 jmc 253: .It Fl m Ar msg

288: .It Fl f

294: .Fl r
295: to ensure that there is some output from the
296: .Ic annotate
297: command, even if only to show Revision 1.1 of the file.

299: Limit the scope of the search to the local directory

1497: The OpenCVS project is a BSD-licensed rewrite of the original
1498: Concurrent Versioning System written by Jean-Francois Brousseau.

1.2 jfb 1506: .Sh CAVEATS
1507: This CVS implementation does not fully conform to the GNU CVS version.
1.3 jfb 1508: In some cases, this was done explicitly because GNU CVS has inconsistencies
1.2 jfb 1509: or ambiguous behaviour.
1.3 jfb 1510: Some things have also been left out or modified to enhance the overall
1511: security of the system.
1512: .Pp
1513: Among other things, support for the pserver connection mechanism has been
1514: dropped because of security issues with the authentication mechanism.
