GNU Info (cvs.info)Alias modulesAlias modules ------------- Alias modules are the simplest kind of module: `MNAME -a ALIASES...' This represents the simplest way of defining a module MNAME. The `-a' flags the definition as a simple alias: CVS will treat any use of MNAME (as a command argument) as if the list of names ALIASES had been specified instead. ALIASES may contain either other module names or paths. When you use paths in aliases, `checkout' creates all intermediate directories in the working directory, just as if the path had been specified explicitly in the CVS arguments. For example, if the modules file contains: amodule -a first-dir then the following two commands are equivalent: $ cvs co amodule $ cvs co first-dir and they each would provide output such as: cvs checkout: Updating first-dir U first-dir/file1 U first-dir/file2 cvs checkout: Updating first-dir/sdir U first-dir/sdir/sfile automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
