## status--Display status information on checked out files

- status [-lR] [-v] [files...]
- Requires: working directory, repository.
- Changes: nothing.

Display a brief report on the current status of files with respect to the source repository. For information on the basic output see section File status. For information on the `Sticky tag` and `Sticky date` output, see section Sticky tags. For information on the `Sticky options` output, see the ``-k'` option in section update options.

You can also use this command to determine the potential impact of a ``cvs update'` on your working source directory--but remember that things might change in the repository before you run `update`.
