+dit(bf(--iconv=CONVERT_SPEC)) Rsync can convert filenames between character
+sets using this option. Using a CONVERT_SPEC of "." tells rsync to look up
+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
+separated by a comma (local first), e.g. bf(--iconv=utf8,iso88591).
+Finally, you can specify a CONVERT_SPEC of "-" to turn off any conversion.
+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.
+
+Note that rsync does not do any conversion of names in filter files
+(including include/exclude files). It is up to you to ensure that you're
+specifying matching rules that can match on both sides of the transfer.
+For instance, you can specify extra include/exclude rules if there are
+filename differences on the two sides that need to be accounted for.
