Command options
-
-d directory-name

file in the repository’sCVSROOT
directory.CVS usually creates the same directory structure that the repository uses. However, if the export contains only one file and
-d
is used, CVS does not create any intervening directories. Use-N
to prevent CVS from shortening the path.-
-D date
Export the latest revision of each file in a project that is older than the date or time specified by date. This option implies the
-P
option.-
-f
Use the latest (

The keyword-expansion modes are listed in Section 11.6 of Chapter 11.
