Environment Variables
Several environment variables affect CVS. Some are read only when CVS is the client, and some are read only when CVS is the server. In local or fork modes, both sets are read.
Client Environment Variables
The environment variables in the following list are read and used by the process that runs on the client computer and must be in the calling user’s environment:
-
COMSPEC OS/2 only. This variable sets the command interpreter and defaults to
CMD.EXE.-
CVS_CLIENT_LOG Used for debugging CVS in client/server mode. If set, everything sent to the server is stored in the
CVS_CLIENT_LOG.infile, and everything received by the client is stored inCVS_CLIENT_LOG.out.-
CVS_CLIENT_PORT Used to set the port the client uses to connect to the CVS server in
kserver,gserver, andpservermodes. By default, the client uses port 2401 (gserverandpserver) or port 1999 (kserver) to connect to the server.-
CVSIGNORE A whitespace-separated list of filename patterns that should be ignored. See Section 11.2.4 earlier in this chapter.
-
CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT Obsolete since CVS 1.10. When set, it prevented CVS from overwriting the
CVS/Rootfile if the-d repository_pathoption was set. CVS no longer overwrites the file.-
CVSEDITORorEDITORorVISUAL Used to set the editor CVS calls when it opens an editor for log messages. On Unix and Linux systems, the default editor is
vi. UsingCVSEDITORis preferred overEDITORandVISUAL, as other variables may be used by other programs.-
