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

shtk_cvs_fetch first appeared in shtk 1.0.
