3.2 Defining the module

The next step is to define the module in the `modules' file. This is not strictly necessary, but modules can be convenient in grouping together related files and directories.

In simple cases these steps are sufficient to define a module.

1. Get a working copy of the modules file.

   $ cvs checkout CVSROOT/modules $ cd CVSROOT

2. Edit the file and insert a line that defines the module. See section 2.4 The administrative files, for an introduction. See section C.1 The modules file, for a full description of the modules file. You can use the following line to define the module `tc':

   tc yoyodyne/tc

3. Commit your changes to the modules file.

   $ cvs commit -m "Added the tc module." modules

4. Release the modules module.

   $ cd .. $ cvs release -d CVSROOT
