SHTK_CVS_FETCH(3)     DragonFly Library Functions Manual     SHTK_CVS_FETCH(3)


NAME

     shtk_cvs_fetch - Checks out or updates a CVS working copy


LIBRARY

     shtk_import cvs


SYNOPSIS

     shtk_cvs_fetch cvsroot module tag directory


DESCRIPTION

     The shtk_cvs_fetch function is a simple wrapper over the lower-level
     shtk_cvs_checkout(3) and shtk_cvs_update(3) functions, using one or the
     other depending on the status of the local working copy.

     More specifically: if directory does not yet exist or it is empty, the
     shtk_cvs_fetch function checks out a new working copy of the repository
     cvsroot into it using the given module and tag.  If directory does exist
     and contains a CVS control directory, then the shtk_cvs_fetch function
     performs a working copy update of the repository using the given tag.

     The CVS tag provided in tag can be empty, in which case the working copy
     is checked out from `HEAD'.


EXAMPLES

           shtk_cvs_fetch :ext:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot \
               src netbsd-7 /usr/src
