cvsaskpass - prompt for a password for the CVS DCOP service
Contents
Description
This utility displays a dialog box prompting the user for the password to a CVS repository, then writes
the password to standard output and exits. You should not need to run this program directly - it is
designed for the internal use of cvsservice(1).
The prompt should be of the following form:
user@host's password:
This will allow the dialog box to display the details of the CVS repository to the user.
This utility is part of the CVS service provided with Cervisia, which in turn is part of the KDE Software
Development Kit.
