CVSCHECK(1)

NAME
cvscheck - offline status report for files in a checked-out CVS module

SYNOPSIS
cvscheck [ dir ]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cvscheck command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

cvscheck prints information about the status of your local CVS checkout without communicating with the server. This means it is extremely fast and does not require a network connection.

The given directory and all of its subdirectories will be processed recursively. If no directory is given, the current directory and its recursed subdirectories will be used.

Each file with an interesting status will be printed with a status character in front of its name. The status characters are as follows.

? foobar.c
    The file is not known to CVS. Maybe you should add it?

M foobar.c
    The file is for sure locally modified.

m foobar.c
    The file might have local changes. You should diff with the server to make sure.

C foobar.c
    The file has a CVS conflict and therefore cannot be committed.

U foobar.c
    The file is in CVS but is somehow missing in your local checkout.

T foobar.c
    The file has an unusual sticky CVS tag.

A foobar.c
    You have "cvs add"ed this file but you have not yet committed.

R foobar.c
    You have "cvs remove"d this file but you have not yet committed.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
