.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.TP
.SM CVSROOT
Should contain the full pathname to the root of the
.B cvs
source repository (where the
.SM RCS
files are kept).  This information must be available to \fBcvs\fP for
most commands to execute; if
.SM CVSROOT
is not set, or if you wish to override it for one invocation, you can
supply it on the command line:
.` "cvs \-d \fIcvsroot cvs_command\fP\|.\|.\|."
You may not need to set
.SM CVSROOT
if your \fBcvs\fP binary has the right path compiled in; use
.` "cvs \-v"
to display all compiled-in paths.
