The overall format of all CVS commands is:
cvs [ cvs_options ] cvs_command [ command_options ] [ command_args ]
cvs
cvs_options
cvs_command
command_options
command_args
There is unfortunately some confusion between
cvs_options
and command_options
.
`-l', when given as a cvs_option
, only
affects some of the commands. When it is given as a
command_option
is has a different meaning, and
is accepted by more commands. In other words, do not
take the above categorization too seriously. Look at
the documentation instead.
