+.SH NAME
+cvsservice \- a DCOP service for accessing CVS repositories
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cvsservice
+.RI "[ " generic-options " ]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The CVS service is a DCOP service for accessing and working with
+remote CVS repositories.  Applications may link with this library to
+access the DCOP service directly from C++.  Alternatively, scripts may
+access the service using the standard
+.BR dcop (1)
+command-line tool.
+.PP
+DCOP is the Desktop Communication Protocol used throughout TDE.
+.PP
+The CVS DCOP service consists of the following three parts:
+.TP
+\fBCvsService\fP
+The main interface to the functionality of the
+.BR cvs (1)
+command line client.  There is one method for each CVS command, e.g., add,
+checkout, commit, etc.  The methods assemble the command line
+arguments, create a CvsJob and return a DCOPRef object for it
+to the caller.  There is one instance of this service for each
+application instance.
+.TP
+\fBRepository\fP
+This DCOPObject manages the configuration data of the current
+CVS repository.  The data is automatically updated when other
+service instances change it.
+.TP
+\fBCvsJob\fP
+This class represents a CVS job.  You can execute and cancel it,
+and you can retrieve the output of the cvs client by either
+connecting to the proper DCOP signals or by using the output()
+method.  There are two types of jobs.  First the non-concurrent
+job which has to run alone, like cvs update or import.  Second
+the jobs which can run concurrently like cvs log or annotate.
+.PP
+The CVS service is provided with Cervisia, which is part of the TDE
+Software Development Kit.
+.SH OPTIONS
+For a full summary of options, run \fIcvsservice \-\-help\fP.

+Details of how to use the CVS service from within a shell script, a C++
+program or through the JavaScript bindings can be found in
+\fI/usr/share/doc/libcvsservice0/DESIGN\fP.
