CVS Commands

CVS commands are specified by a string consisting of colon separated fields. A proper cvs command has the following format:

command:entries:request:response:arguments
Where:
command
The cvs command to send to the server, such as 'add', 'ci', or 'update'.

entries
A string specifying the entries in the project to apply the command to. This string consists of an initial character which specifies the type of selection to make, which can possibly be following by a parameter that is used by the selection.

The possible selectors are as follows:

request
A string of option characters specifying the entries in the project to apply the command to. This string consists of an initial character which specifies the type of selection to make, which can possibly be following by a parameter that is used by the selection.

The possible selectors are as follows:

response
A string of option characters specifying the entries in the project to apply the command to. This string consists of an initial character which specifies the type of selection to make, which can possibly be following by a parameter that is used by the selection.

The possible selectors are as follows:

arguments
A string specifying arguments to be included with the command. The arguments in this string will be overridden by any provided by the user that match. These are to be considered default arguments. To prevent the user from overriding these arguments, do not provide the 'A' option to the request specification, so that the user's arguments are not sent.
