# cvslockd(1)

CVSNT Lock Server

## NAME

cvslockd - CVSNT Lock Server

## SYNOPSIS

**cvslockd \[-d\] \[-l\] \[-g\] \[-p port\]**

## DESCRIPTION

cvslockd is the CVSNT lock server. It is a replacement for the old file based locks from cvs.

The lock server reports not only that a lock exists, but also who is holding it and it automatically removes stale locks.

## OPTIONS

- **-d**

  Debug mode. Print debug output.

- **-l**

  Listen on local (loopback) interface only.

- **-g**

  Listen on all interfaces.

- **-p port**

  Defines the port where the lock server listens. Default is 2402.
