- --existing only update files that already exist
--ignore-existing ignore files that already exist on receiver
+ --ignore-non-existing ignore files that don't exist on receiver
--remove-sent-files sent files/symlinks are removed from sender
--del an alias for --delete-during
--delete delete files that don't exist on sender
--force force deletion of dirs even if not empty
--max-delete=NUM don't delete more than NUM files
--max-size=SIZE don't transfer any file larger than SIZE
+ --min-size=SIZE don't transfer any file smaller than SIZE
--partial keep partially transferred files
--partial-dir=DIR put a partially transferred file into DIR
--delay-updates put all updated files into place at end
--copy-dest=DIR ... and include copies of unchanged files
--link-dest=DIR hardlink to files in DIR when unchanged
-z, --compress compress file data during the transfer
+ --compress-level=NUM explicitly set compression level
-C, --cvs-exclude auto-ignore files in the same way CVS does
-f, --filter=RULE add a file-filtering RULE
-F same as --filter='dir-merge /.rsync-filter'
boundaries when recursing. This is useful for transferring the
contents of only one filesystem.
-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 to skip updating files that
+already exist on the destination. See also bf(--ignore-non-existing).
-dit(bf(--ignore-existing))
-This tells rsync not to update files that already exist on
-the destination.
+dit(bf(--ignore-non-existing)) This tells rsync to skip updating files that
+do not exist yet on the destination. If this option is combined with the
+bf(--ignore-existing) option, no files will be updated (which can be useful
+if all you want to do is to delete missing files). Note that in older
+versions of rsync, this option was named bf(--existing), so this older
+name is still accepted as an alias.
dit(bf(--remove-sent-files)) This tells rsync to remove from the sending
side the files and/or symlinks that are newly created or whose content is
dit(bf(--max-size=SIZE)) This tells rsync to avoid transferring any
file that is larger than the specified SIZE. The SIZE value can be
-suffixed with a letter to indicate a size multiplier (K, M, or G) and
+suffixed with a string to indicate a size multiplier, and
may be a fractional value (e.g. "bf(--max-size=1.5m)").
+The suffixes are as follows: "K" (or "k") is a kilobyte (1024),
+"M" (or "m") is a megabyte (1024*1024), and "G" (or "g") is a
+gigabyte (1024*1024*1024).
+If you want the multiplier to be 1000 instead of 1024, suffix the K, G, or
+M with a "T" (or "t") to indicate that a power of 10 is desired.
+Finally, if the suffix ends in either "+1" or "-1", the value will
+be offset by one byte in the indicated direction.
+Examples: --max-size=1.5mt-1 is 1499999 bytes, and --max-size=2g+1 is
+2147483649 bytes.
+
+dit(bf(--min-size=SIZE)) This tells rsync to avoid transferring any
+file that is smaller than the specified SIZE, which can help in not
+transferring small, junk files.
+See the bf(--max-size) option for a description of SIZE.
+
dit(bf(-B, --block-size=BLOCKSIZE)) This forces the block size used in
the rsync algorithm to a fixed value. It is normally selected based on
the size of each file being updated. See the technical report for details.
because it takes advantage of the implicit information in the matching data
blocks that are not explicitly sent over the connection.
+dit(bf(--compress-level=NUM)) Explicitly set the compression level to use
+(see bf(--compress)) instead of letting it default. If NUM is non-zero,
+the bf(--compress) option is implied.
+
dit(bf(--numeric-ids)) With this option rsync will transfer numeric group
and user IDs rather than using user and group names and mapping them
at both ends.
