--fake-super store/recover privileged attrs using xattrs
-S, --sparse handle sparse files efficiently
-n, --dry-run perform a trial run with no changes made
- -W, --whole-file copy files whole (without rsync algorithm)
+ -W, --whole-file copy files whole (w/o delta-xfer algorithm)
-x, --one-file-system don't cross filesystem boundaries
-B, --block-size=SIZE force a fixed checksum block-size
-e, --rsh=COMMAND specify the remote shell to use
statistics are too small, and the "speedup" value is equivalent to a run
where no file transfers are needed.
-dit(bf(-W, --whole-file)) With this option the delta transfer algorithm
+dit(bf(-W, --whole-file)) With this option the delta-transfer algorithm
is not used and the whole file is sent as-is instead. The transfer may be
faster if this option is used when the bandwidth between the source and
destination machines is higher than the bandwidth to disk (especially when the
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).
+separated by a comma (local first), e.g. bf(--iconv=utf8,iso88591). (Run
+"iconv --list" to see a list of the charset names that a machine supports.)
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.
