And then do what with them?

I don't understand what this means.



Possibility to choose CVS filename suffixes that are usually ,v rather than .v

But... what is the script supposed to do with them?

The arguments you receive are in the positional parameters, "$1" and so
on, or "$@" for the full set. You can iterate over them (usually with
a for loop), or you can pass them all en masse to some other command with
"$@".

Are you trying to construct a find command, or an rsync command, or

something? Please be specific about what you want to do.



Yes, it is for an rsync functionality.  I would like to gather the suffixes 
together as I 

will do some other checks in addition to rsync and some status logs.
