RE: CVS list files in repository which are currently in checked out status

Hi,

Thank you all for your patience.
Now I would like to specify here after digging further and further that I need to list out the files which have being reserved check out / locked by any user.

Regards,
Rupa

A 'cvs release' command will automagically unlock files on which you have performed a 'cvs edit filename' operation. It will not print out such files unless they have been modified in your working copy.

A 'cvs release' command will print out a list of modified files in your along with a number:

$ cvs release -d mod
M foo.txt
You have [1] altered files in this repository.
Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `mod': 

If you say 'no', then you will get a message like

    ** `release' aborted by user choice.

and the module will not be released. If you say 'yes', then the module will be released. The -d option will remove the local copy of the files for you in addition to possibly updating the history file and sending any notifications of edits you have released to any watchers of the files you have edited.
