SHTK_CVS_CHECKOUT(3)  DragonFly 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
     example).


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.


SEE ALSO

     shtk(3), shtk_cvs(3)


HISTORY

     shtk_cvs_checkout first appeared in shtk 1.0.
