NAME

shtk_cvs_update —

Updates an existing working copy of a CVS repository

LIBRARY

shtk_import cvs

SYNOPSIS

shtk_cvs_update cvsroot tag directory

DESCRIPTION

The shtk_cvs_update function updates the existing working copy in directory from the CVS repository provided in cvsroot and tag. The CVS tag provided in tag can be empty, in which case the working copy is bought back up to ‘HEAD’.

In general, you should resort to using the higher-level shtk_cvs_fetch(3) wrapper as it properly handles the case of missing working copies.

EXAMPLES

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

ERRORS

shtk_cvs_update aborts execution with an error if the given directory does not yet exist or if the CVS update operation fails.

HISTORY

shtk_cvs_update first appeared in shtk 1.0.
