File Based VCS Validation

Question

I want to check a bunch of files from a CVS server.
Is there a way I can pass the cvs command the name of the file that contains the files that I want to check? Is there any other way to do this?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using the bash-style shell:

cvs co $(< myfile)

Where myfilecontains a list of files that you want to check.

If you are talking about modules instead of files, Oliver Giesen's answer will be helpful.

Answer 2

You might want to review the documents for the file CVSROOT/modules, and then define a regular module as follows:

MyModule folder file1 file2 file3 [...]

:

cvs co MyModule
