+be refused by your rsync daemon.
+You may specify the full option name, its one-letter abbreviation, or a
+wild-card string that matches multiple options.
+For example, this would refuse bf(--checksum) (bf(-c)) and all the various
+delete options:
+
+quote(tt( refuse options = c delete))
+
+The reason the above refuses all delete options is that the options imply
+bf(--delete), and implied options are refused just like explicit options.
+As an additional safety feature, the refusal of "delete" also refuses
+bf(remove-sent-files) when the daemon is the sender; if you want the latter
+without the former, instead refuse "delete-*" -- that refuses all the
+delete modes without affecting bf(--remove-sent-files).
