DESCRIPTION

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.
OPTIONS
For a full summary of options, run cvsaskpass --help.
RETURN VALUE
If a password was succefully obtained, 0 is returned. If no prompt was
supplied on the command-line or if the dialog was cancelled, 1 is
returned.
