CVS stands for Concurrent Versions System. It is a version control system that is used to track changes to files and directories. CVS is a popular tool for software development, but it can also be used to track changes to any type of file.

The cvs command is used to interact with a CVS repository. The repository is a central location where all of the files and directories that are under version control are stored. The cvs command can be used to check out files from the repository, to commit changes to the repository, and to manage the history of changes to the files.

The cvs command is used in the following syntax:

cvs [options] command [arguments]

The command is the command that you want to run. The arguments are the arguments that you want to pass to the command.

The most common cvs commands are:

  • cvs checkout : Check out a file from the repository.

  • cvs commit : Commit changes to the repository.

  • cvs log : Show the history of changes to a file.

For example, the following code will check out the file file.txt from the repository:

cvs checkout file.txt

This code will create a local copy of the file file.txt in the current directory.

The cvs command is a powerful tool that can be used to track changes to files and directories. It is a valuable tool to know, especially if you work on software development projects.
