NAME

VCS::LibCVS::Admin - The CVS sandbox administrative directory.

SYNOPSIS

  $admin_dir = VCS::LibCVS::Admin->new("/home/alex/wrk/libcvs/Perl");
  $entries = $admin->get_Entries;
  $tag = $admin->get_Tag;

DESCRIPTION

Admin represents the administrative information used for managing the checked-out files in the sandbox. Each instance of Admin reprsents this information for the contents of a single directory.

In order to be compatible with other CVS implementations, the default is to use a subdirectory of the indicated directory named "CVS". It should contain at least the three files "Entries", "Root" and "Repository". To use a different name, change $VCS::LibCVS::Admin_Dir_Name.

The administrative information is accessed through objects which are subclasses of LibCVS::Datum.
