A.11.1 export options

These standard options are supported by export (see section A.5 Common command options, for a complete description of them):

-D date

Use the most recent revision no later than date.

-f

If no matching revision is found, retrieve the most recent revision (instead of ignoring the file).

-l

Local; run only in current working directory.

-n

Do not run any checkout program.

-R

Export directories recursively. This is on by default.

-r tag

Use revision tag.

In addition, these options (that are common to checkout and export) are also supported:

-d dir

Create a directory called dir for the working files, instead of using the module name. See section A.8.1 checkout options, for complete details on how CVS handles this flag.

-k subst

Set keyword expansion mode (see section 12.4 Substitution modes).

-N

Only useful together with ‘-d dir’. See section A.8.1 checkout options, for complete details on how CVS handles this flag.
