+The cvslock (1) program is used to safely manipulate and inspect CVS
+repositories; to this end, it properly uses CVS' lock file mechanism.

+The primary application for which this program was created was
+keeping several instances of the same CVS repository in synch; using
+CVSup which apparently does a superior task at this was not an
+option in my precise application.
