cvs: Commit a file.
$ cvs commit -m "${message}" ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "cvs commit -m "${message}" ${filename}" is used in the CVS (Concurrent Versions System) version control system to commit changes made to a specific file. Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • "cvs commit": This is the main command to initiate the commit process in CVS.
  • "-m "${message}"" (or "-m ${message}"): The "-m" option is used to specify the commit message that describes the changes made. The "${message}" is a placeholder for the actual commit message you want to provide. Make sure to enclose it in double quotes.
  • ${filename}: This represents the specific file you want to commit the changes for. Replace "${filename}" with the actual filename you wish to commit.

Combining these components, the command allows you to commit the changes made to a file in CVS with a specified commit message.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
