All contextCSN values with the given sid stored in all of the syncrepl and syncprov enabled databases. I.e, it will modify and/or delete one contextCSN value (those with the specified sid) in many databases, while the rid=xxx can modify many values in one syncrepl database.
The -c option only overrides the in-memory copy; it performs no database operations on its own. It causes the database copy to be overwritten as a result of subsequent refresh operations.
