CVSROOT Variables

The administrative files in CVSROOT can use several types of variables: internal,

environment, and shell variables. You can use these variables to pass parameters

to the scripts in the scripting files, or you can use them as part of command-line

templates.

The internal variables allow you to use information CVS stores about the

currently running command. The environment variables are used to access infor-

mation from the environment the command is running in, and the shell variables

are used to access information about the shell.
