the default character-set via the locale setting. Alternately, you can
fully specify what conversion to do by giving a local and a remote charset

The default setting of this option is site-specific, and can also be
affected via the RSYNC_ICONV environment variable.

If you specify the bf(--protect-args) option (bf(-s)), rsync will translate
the filenames you specify on the command-line that are being sent to the
remote host. See also the bf(--files-from) option.
For instance, you can specify extra include/exclude rules if there are
filename differences on the two sides that need to be accounted for.

+specify just the local charset for a daemon transfer (e.g. bf(--iconv=utf8)).

dit(bf(-4, --ipv4) or bf(-6, --ipv6)) Tells rsync to prefer IPv4/IPv6
when creating sockets. This only affects sockets that rsync has direct
control over, such as the outgoing socket when directly contacting an
