493
494+Starting with version 3.0.0, the sending side will look for a checksum
495+summary file and use a pre-generated checksum that it reads out of the file
496+(as long as it matches the file's size and modified time). This allows a
497+server to support the --checksum option to clients without having to

501 Note that rsync always verifies that each em(transferred) file was
502 correctly reconstructed on the receiving side by checking a whole-file
503 checksum that is generated when as the file is transferred, but that
504 automatic after-the-transfer verification has nothing to do with this

507+dit(bf(--checksum-updating)) This option tells the sending side to create
508+and/or update per-directory checksum files that are used by the
56522462

509+bf(--checksum) option. The file that is updated is named .rsyncsums. If
510+pre-transfer checksums are not being computed, this option has no effect.
ae10e51e

512+The checksum files stores the computed checksum, last-known size,
513+modification time, and name for each file in the current directory. If a
514+later transfer finds that a file matches its prior size and modification
515+time, the checksum is assumed to still be correct. Otherwise it is
516+recomputed and udpated in the file.
517+
518+To avoid transferring the system's checksum files, you can use an exclude
56522462 519+(e.g. bf(--exclude=.rsyncsums)). To make this easier to type, you can use
ae10e51e
WD
520+a popt alias. For instance, adding the following line in your ~/.popt file
521+defines a bf(-cc) option that enables checksum updating and excludes the
