+The %i format is a set of cryptic characters that are output as follows:
+
+quote(tt( *Xcstpog ITEM_NAME))
+
+The bf(*) is either bf(<) (receive) or bf(>) (send) or bf(*) (--dry-run) if
+the item is being updated, otherwise it is a space. The bf(X) will be
+replaced by one of the following: an "f" for a file, a "d" for a dir, an
+"L" for a symlink, or a "D" for a device. The rest of the letters in the
+string above are the actual letters that will be output if the associated
+attribute for the item is being updated; otherwise the letter will be
+replaced by either a "-" for no change, or a "+" if this is a new item.
+The meanings of the attribute letters are as follows:
+
+quote(itemize(
+ it() A bf(c) means the checksum of the file is different and will be
+ updated by the file transfer (requries bf(--checksum)).
+ it() A bf(s) means the size of the file is different and will be updated
+ by the file transfer.
+ it() A bf(t) means the modified time is being updated to the server's
+ value (requires --times). An alternate value of bf(T) means that the
+ time is being set to the transfer time (which happens when symlinks are
+ updated or when a file or device is updated without --times).
+ it() A bf(p) means the permissions are being updated (requires
+ bf(--perms)).
+ it() An bf(o) means the owner is being updated (requires bf(--owner) and
+ root privileges).
+ it() A bf(g) means the group is being updated (requires bf(--group)).
