-O, --omit-dir-times omit directories when preserving times
-S, --sparse handle sparse files efficiently
-n, --dry-run show what would have been transferred
- -W, --whole-file copy files whole
+ -W, --whole-file copy files whole (without rsync algorithm)
--no-whole-file always use incremental rsync algorithm
-x, --one-file-system don't cross filesystem boundaries
-B, --block-size=SIZE force a fixed checksum block-size
--size-only skip files that match in size
--modify-window=NUM compare mod-times with reduced accuracy
-T, --temp-dir=DIR create temporary files in directory DIR
+ -y, --fuzzy find similar file for basis if no dest file
--compare-dest=DIR also compare received files relative to DIR
--copy-dest=DIR ... and include copies of unchanged files
--link-dest=DIR hardlink to files in DIR when unchanged
--stats give some file-transfer stats
--progress show progress during transfer
-P same as --partial --progress
+ -i, --itemize-changes output a change-summary for all updates
--log-format=FORMAT log file-transfers using specified format
--password-file=FILE read password from FILE
--list-only list the files instead of copying them
transferred on the receiving side. The default behavior is to create
the temporary files in the receiving directory.
+dit(bf(-y, --fuzzy)) This option tells rsync that it should look for a
+basis file for any destination file that is missing. The current algorithm
+looks in the same directory as the destination file for either a file that
+has an identical size and modified-time, or a similarly-named file. If
+found, rsync uses the fuzzy basis file to try to speed up the transfer.
+
+Note that the use of the bf(--delete) option might get rid of any potential
+fuzzy-match files, so either use bf(--delete-after) or specify some
+filename exclusions if you need to prevent this.
+
dit(bf(--compare-dest=DIR)) This option instructs rsync to use em(DIR) on
the destination machine as an additional hierarchy to compare destination
files against doing transfers (if the files are missing in the destination
dit(bf(--no-blocking-io)) Turn off bf(--blocking-io), for use when it is the
default.
+dit(bf(-i, --itemize-changes)) Outputs a change-summary for each updated
+item. The format is as follows:
+
+quote(tt( *XcstpogDL ITEM_NAME))
+
+The bf(*) will be present if this is a file that is being transferred,
+otherwise it will be replaced with 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; if not the letter will be replaced
+by either a "-" if no change is occurring, 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, but transferred files without --times will be
+ marked with a bf(T) because the time is updated to the transfer time).
+ 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)).
+ it() A bf(D) means the device is being updated (requires bf(--devices)
+ and root privileges).
+ it() An bf(L) means the symlink value is being updated (requires
+ --links).
+))
+
dit(bf(--log-format=FORMAT)) This allows you to specify exactly what the
rsync client logs to stdout on a per-file basis. The log format is
specified using the same format conventions as the log format option in
