NAME

VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request::Argument - an Argument request

SYNOPSIS

  $switch = VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request::Argument->new("-m");
  $msg = VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request::Argument->new("2 line\nmessage");
  $msg = VCS::LibCVS::Client::Request::Argument->new( ["2 line","msg"] );
  $client->submit_request($switch);
  $client->submit_request($msg);

DESCRIPTION

Used for sending arguments to the server. These are similar to the cvs command-line switches.

The only difference from a regular request is the constructor.

An Argument can contain arbitrary characters, including newlines. In order to support this the CVS client protocol has a request called Argumentx that appends a line to a previous Argument request. This library rolls these two requests into one object which can handle arguments with multiple lines.
