=== The history database ===

You can use the history file (see [[cvs: The history file#The history file|history file]]) to log various CVS actions. To retrieve the information from the history file, use the `cvs history` command (see [[cvs: history--Show status of files and users#history—Show status of files and users|history]]).

Note: you can control what is logged to this file by using the ‘`LogHistory`’ keyword in the ‘`CVSROOT/config`’ file (see [[cvs: The CVSROOT%47config configuration file#The CVSROOT/config configuration file|config]]).
