dit(bf(transfer logging)) The "transfer logging" option enables per-file
logging of downloads and uploads in a format somewhat similar to that

+used by ftp daemons. The server always logs the transfer at the end, so
+if a transfer is aborted, no mention will be made in the log file.
+
+If you want to customize the log lines, see the "log format" option.
dit(bf(log format)) The "log format" option allows you to specify the
format used for logging file transfers when transfer logging is
it() %a for the remote IP address
it() %l for the length of the file in bytes
it() %p for the process ID of this rsync session
- it() %o for the operation, which is either "send" or "recv"
- it() %f for the filename (long form)
- it() %n for the filename (short form)
+ it() %o for the operation, which is "send", "recv", or "del."
+ it() %f for the filename (long form on server; no trailing "/")
+ it() %n for the filename (short form; trailing "/" on dir)
it() %L either the string " -> SYMLINK" or "" if not a symlink
it() %P for the module path
it() %m for the module name
is always prefixed when using the "log file" option.
A perl script called rsyncstats to summarize this format is included
-in the rsync source code distribution.
+in the rsync source code distribution in the "support" subdirectory.
The %i format is a set of cryptic characters that are output as follows:
-quote(tt( *Xcstpog ITEM_NAME))
+quote(tt( =Xcstpog ITEM_NAME))
-The bf(*) is either bf(<) (receive), bf(>) (send), or bf(*) (--dry-run) if
-the item is being updated, otherwise it is a space.
+The bf(=) is output as either a bf(<) (receive) or a bf(>) (send) if the
+item is being transferred, a bf(.) if only the attributes are being
+updated, or a bf(=) if the items are identical. Note that when a symlink
+or a device gets its value changed, that is considered to be a transfer (as
+opposed to a change in permissions or ownership).
The bf(X) will be replaced by one of the following: an "f" for a file, a
"d" for a dir, an "L" for a symlink, or a "D" for a device.
The rest of the letters in the string above are the actual letters that
-will be output if the associated attribute for the item is being updated;
-otherwise the letter will be replaced by either a "." for no change, a "+"
-for a new item, or a "?" if the attribute is not known (which happens when
-talking to an older rsync). The meanings of the attribute letters are as
-follows:
+will be output if the associated attribute for the item is being updated or
+a "." for no change. Three exceptions to this are: (1) a newly created
+item replaces each letter with a "+", (2) an identical item replaces each
+letter with a space, and (3) an unknown attribute replaces each letter with
+a "?" (this happens when talking to an older rsync).
+
+The attribute that is associated with each letter is as follows:
quote(itemize(
it() A bf(c) means the checksum of the file is different and will be
updated by the file transfer (requries bf(--checksum)).
it() A bf(s) means the size of the file is different and will be updated
by the file transfer.
- it() A bf(t) means the modified time is being updated to the server's
- value (requires --times). An alternate value of bf(T) means that the
- time is being set to the transfer time, which happens when symlinks are
- updated, or when a file or device is updated without --times.
- it() A bf(p) means the permissions are being updated (requires
- bf(--perms)).
+ it() A bf(t) means the modified time is different and is being updated to
+ the server's value (requires bf(--times)). An alternate value of bf(T)
+ means that the time will be set to the transfer time, which happens
+ anytime a symlink is transferred, or when a file or device is transferred
+ without bf(--times).
+ it() A bf(p) means the permissions are different and are being updated to
+ the server's value (requires bf(--perms)).
it() An bf(o) means the owner is being updated (requires bf(--owner) and
root privileges).
- it() A bf(g) means the group is being updated (requires bf(--group)).
+ it() A bf(g) means the group is being updated (requires bf(--group) and
+ the authority to set the requested group).
))
+One other output is possible: when deleting files, each deleted file will
+be logged with the "%i" taking on a value of "deleting".

dit(bf(timeout)) The "timeout" option allows you to override the
clients choice for I/O timeout for this module. Using this option you
can ensure that rsync won't wait on a dead client forever. The timeout
