SHTK_CVS_CHECKOUT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual SHTK_CVS_CHECKOUT(3)NAME
shtk_cvs_checkout — Checks out a new working copy out of a CVS repository
LIBRARY
shtk_import cvs
SYNOPSIS
shtk_cvs_checkout cvsroot module tag directory
DESCRIPTION
The shtk_cvs_checkout function checks out a new working copy of the
repository cvsroot into directory using the given module and tag. The
directory must not exist. The CVS tag provided in tag can be empty, in
which case the working copy is checked out from ‘HEAD’.
In general, you should resort to using the higher-level shtk_cvs_fetch(3)
wrapper as it properly handles the case of already existing working
copies (which could be caused by a previously aborted checkout, for exam‐
ple).
EXAMPLES
shtk_cvs_checkout :ext:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot \
src netbsd-7 /usr/src
ERRORS
shtk_cvs_checkout aborts execution with an error if the given directory
already exists or if the CVS checkout operation fails.
