Shared Variables

The info files also allow certain variables to be expanded at runtime. To expand a variable, precede it with a dollar sign (and put it in curly braces just to be safe). Here are the variables CVS knows about:

• ${CVSROOT} - The top of the repository.
• ${RCSBIN} - (Obsolete) Don't use this variable. It is only applicable in CVS Version 1.9.18 and older. Specifying it now may result in an error.
• ${CVSEDITOR} ${VISUAL} ${EDITOR} - These all expand to the editor that CVS is using for a log message.
• ${USER} - The user running CVS (on the server side).
