the process ID of the server. If the server is shut down and unable
to clean up after itself, the files may be left in place. They can be

files in the parent directory. The file attributes are settings for
the cvs watch commands. In later versions of
CVS, the fileattr file may be used for other
attributes or the CVS subdirectory may be used
for other files.
The format for fileattr is one line ...
