-D, --devices preserve devices (root only)
-t, --times preserve times
-O, --omit-dir-times omit directories when preserving times
+ --chmod=CHMOD change destination permissions
-S, --sparse handle sparse files efficiently
-n, --dry-run show what would have been transferred
-W, --whole-file copy files whole (without rsync algorithm)
the directories on the receiving side, it is a good idea to use bf(-O).
This option is inferred if you use bf(--backup) without bf(--backup-dir).
+dit(bf(--chmod)) This options tells rsync to apply the listed "chmod" pattern
+to the permission of the files on the destination. In addition to the normal
+parsing rules specified in the chmod manpage, you can specify an item that
+should only apply to a directory by prefixing it with a 'D', or specify an
+item that should only apply to a file by prefixing it with a 'F'. For example:
+
+quote(--chmod=Dg+s,ug+w,Fo-w,+X)
+
dit(bf(-n, --dry-run)) This tells rsync to not do any file transfers,
instead it will just report the actions it would have taken.
