manpagesynopsis()
--rsync-path=PATH specify path to rsync on the remote machine
-C, --cvs-exclude auto ignore files in the same way CVS does
--existing only update files that already exist
+ --ignore-existing ignore files that already exist on the receiving side
--delete delete files that don't exist on the sending side
--delete-excluded also delete excluded files on the receiving side
--delete-after delete after transferring, not before
dit(bf(--existing)) This tells rsync not to create any new files -
only update files that already exist on the destination.
+dit(bf(--ignore-existing))
+This tells rsync not to update files that already exist on
+the destination.
+
dit(bf(--max-delete=NUM)) This tells rsync not to delete more than NUM
files or directories. This is useful when mirroring very large trees
to prevent disasters.
manpagesection(BATCH MODE)
+bf(Note:) Batch mode should be considered experimental in this version
+of rsync. The interface or behaviour may change before it stabilizes.
+
The following call generates 4 files that encapsulate the information
for synchronizing the contents of bf(target_dir) with the updates found in
bf(src_dir)
