A.19 server & pserver--Act as a server for a client on stdin/stdout

• pserver [-c path]

  server [-c path]

• Requires: repository, client conversation on stdin/stdout
• Changes: Repository or, indirectly, client working directory.

The CVS server and pserver commands are used to provide repository access to remote clients and expect a client conversation on stdin & stdout. Typically these commands are launched from inetd or via ssh (see section Remote repositories).

server expects that the client has already been authenticated somehow, typically via SSH, and pserver attempts to authenticate the client itself.

Only one option is available with the server and pserver commands:

-c path

Load configuration from path rather than the default location `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config' (see section The CVSROOT/config configuration file). path must be `/etc/cvs.conf' or prefixed by `/etc/cvs/'. This option is supported beginning with CVS release 1.12.13.
