## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **cm** tool.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**cm** is a program that manages  directory trees.  The components of a directory tree are specified  by a recipe (also known as a config).

A recipe can specify that the directories components should  be retrieved via Arch, CVS, HTTP or FTP as appropriate.

## OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax,  with long options starting with two dashes (\`-').  A summary of  options is included below.  For a complete description, see the  **Info** files.
