ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

CVSROOT
    Should contain the full pathname to the root of the cvs source repository (where the RCS files are kept). This information must be available to cvs for most commands to execute; if CVSROOT is not set, or if you wish to override it for one invocation, you can supply it on the command line: You may not need to set CVSROOT if your cvs binary has the right path compiled in; use to display all compiled-in paths.
