# Reference manual for the Administrative files

Inside the repository, in the directory ``$CVSROOT/CVSROOT'`, there are a number of supportive files for CVS. You can use CVS in a limited fashion without any of them, but if they are set up properly they can help make life easier. For a discussion of how to edit them, See section The administrative files.

The most important of these files is the ``modules'` file, which defines the modules inside the repository.

- modules: Defining modules
- Wrappers: Treat directories as files
- commit files: The commit support files
- commitinfo: Pre-commit checking
- editinfo: Specifying how log messages are created
- loginfo: Where should log messages be sent?
- rcsinfo: Templates for the log messages
- cvsignore: Ignoring files via cvsignore
- history file: History information
- Variables: Various variables are expanded
