cvs2html [−a[-b][-k]] [−n numdif] [−l/-L home] [−e] [−f] [−d MMM DD [YYYY]] [−D DD] [−i image]] [−h] [−v] [−w framewidth] [−s percentage] [−N maxchrono] [−rrev1:rev2] [−c|-C cfilename] -O | -o htmlname [−p cvspath] [−v verbosity]
The cvs2html script fetches the commit log for a CVS module and renders it in HTML.
-a |
Generate additional fields and files containing differences between versions in an xdiff-like side by side manner. |
||
-b |
Use spaces as breakpoints to wrap the text, if -a is specified. This is used to stop the two columns from exceeding the total width. |
-c | -C filename
Save a chronologically sorted list of all log entries in html format in filename. Use -C to reverse-sort the file.
-d MMM DD [YYYY]
Omit all log messages prior to the given date. The first three letters of the month should be used (eg Jun 5). The year is optional.
-D DD |
Omit all log messages older than DD days. |
||
-e |
Print log messages in courier (non-proportional) font. |
||
-f |
Generate individual log files for each file when using -o. |
||
-h |
Show help |
-i image
Make image the background image.
-k |
Ignore changes in lines caused by CVS-keyword substitutions when -a is specified. |
-l home
Make links relative to home.
-L home
Make links relative to home, but substitute file extensions with .html.
-n numdiff
Output only the latest numdiff diffs in the log. Older commits will only have the log data displayed.
-N maxchrono
Show only the latest maxchrono file changes in the chronological list of changes.
-o output
If output is a directory, all html files produced are stored there, using the name of the repository as the base filename. Otherwise, output is used as the base name. Generate frames for easier browsing.
-O output
If output is a directory, all html files produced are stored there, using the name of the repository as the base filename. Otherwise, output is used as the base name.
-P cvspath
Set the cvs path to cvspath.
-rrev1:rev2
Show only the log messages between rev1, and rev2. If a file isn’t tagged, then the whole revision story of the file is shown.
-s percentage
Make the width of the left frame, percentage of the window.
-v |
Insert CVSROOT information in the index. |
-V verbosity
Set the verbosity. The higher verbosity is, the more output is printed out.
-w framewidth
Make the width of the left frame, framewidth pixels.
cvs2html -l http://cvs.sslug.dk/linuxbog -f -p \\ -o cvs2html/index.html -v -a -b -n 6 -C chrono.html
Will create a directory called cvs2html directory. This directory will contain a log data file, for every file in the repository. The last 6 commits to every file will have a diff available. All links will be relative to http://cvs.sslug.dk/linuxbog. It will also create a file with all the log data in it, in chronological order.
The cvs2html script was written by Peter Toft and others (see the comments in /usr/bin/cvs2html for an exhaustive list). This manual page was written by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho for Debian GNU, and modified by Pascal Hakim.
