I'm back at this again and I would like to know where I can get hold
of the CVSAPI documentation?

I have tried finding some kind of docs but failed (looked in my
checked out sources & googled for it).

I tried using DependencyWalker on the cvsapi.dll file to see the entry
points, but they are such that I cannot decode how to use them....

What I think will be sufficient for the task at hand (filing the audit
database with old non-audited data) is access to the ls, log and
status calls to get the file structure out and then the data for each
file without using brute force by reading on filesystem level.
