-b

Deprecated, use -O'branch_dupbox=-1' for same functionality.

-c file

Read alternate config from file.

-d level

Enable debug mode at level. The amount of information is determined by a bitwise or of the following: 1=config lexer, 2=config parser, 4=rcsfile lexer, 8=rcsfile parser, 16=rcsfile structure. The level argument may be in decimal, octal or hexadecimal format.

-h

A brief description of possible options.

-i

Generate an image map instead of an image.

-I file

Also write an image map to file. This can be useful if you want to generate both image and image map simultaneously. This halves the total time spent on accessing the repository file because it is parsed only once. However, keeping track of auto-generated files can be a bit of a hack if used in HTTP requests (unless you pass both image and HTML file in one HTTP stream). Note 1: most time is used for the image-drawing routines (actually libgd), so you might want to think twice in CGI apps. Note 2: you can still use '-o' to specify an output file for the image. And, if you also specify '-i', then you'll get two image maps, for whatever purpose that might be.

-k

Deprecated, use -O'auto_stretch=-1' for same functionality. This function is not stable.

-M name

Deprecated, use -O'map_name="AMapName"' for same functionality.

-m mod

Use mod as the CVS module. This option overrides cvsmodule in the configuration file.

-O cfg_option=value[;opt=val[...]]

Set cfg_option to value. Multiple -O are allowed as well as multiple options can be set simultaneously by separating them with ';'. See for a detailed list of options. See also CONFIGURATION below.

-o file

Output to file. Otherwise, output is written to standard output.

-q

Be quiet (i.e. no warnings)

-r path

Use path as the CVS root. This option overrides cvsroot in the configuration file.

-s

Deprecated, use -O'strip_untagged=-1' for same functionality.

-S

Deprecated, use -O'strip_first_rev=-1' for same functionality.

-u

Deprecated, use -O'upside_down=-1' for same functionality.

-V

Print version and exit.

-x {3,4,x}

Set the HTML level of compliance for image maps. Use 3 for HTML 3.x, 4 for HTML 4.x and x for XHTML. Default is HTML 3.x compatibility.

-[0-9] txt

Use txt for expansion

The location of a repository file is determined by the configuration parameters cvsroot and cvsmodule and the respective command line options '-r' and '-m'. The cvsroot, cvsmodule and file are concatenated with separating '/' path-separators forming the final location: <cvsroot>/<cvsmodule>/file No path-separator is appended if cvsroot and cvsmodule are empty strings. An error message is issued if the resulting path cannot be opened. Note that cvsgraph does not attempt to check any validity of the path components. This enables a user to open any file on the file-system by setting cvsroot and cvsmodule to empty strings. For example, cvsgraph -r '' -m '' ../myfile,v would try to open the file ../myfile,v. Note that a variety of possibilities yield the same file and all have their advantages and drawbacks, which are mostly related to the possible use of the parameters in text expansions.

If no file is given on the command line, then input is read from standard input. This can make expansion strings somewhat strange looking, but they are composed with the information available. If no input file was given, then the input filename for expansion is set to <stdin>.

/etc/cvsgraph.conf

Configuration file read for default layout parameters.
