manpagesynopsis()
--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
--delay-updates put all updated files into place at end
-m, --prune-empty-dirs prune empty directory chains from file-list
--numeric-ids don't map uid/gid values by user/group name
- --timeout=TIME set I/O timeout in seconds
+ --timeout=SECONDS set I/O timeout in seconds
+ --contimeout=SECONDS set daemon connection timeout in seconds
-I, --ignore-times don't skip files that match size and time
--size-only skip files that match in size
--modify-window=NUM compare mod-times with reduced accuracy
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
timeout in seconds. If no data is transferred for the specified time
then rsync will exit. The default is 0, which means no timeout.
+dit(bf(--contimeout)) This option allows you to set the amount of time
+that rsync will wait for its connection to an rsync daemon to succeed.
+If the timeout is reached, rsync exits with an error.
+
dit(bf(--address)) By default rsync will bind to the wildcard address when
connecting to an rsync daemon. The bf(--address) option allows you to
specify a specific IP address (or hostname) to bind to. See also this
file for accessing an rsync daemon. The file must not be world readable.
It should contain just the password as a single line.
+This option does not supply a password to a remote shell transport such as
+ssh; to learn how to do that, consult the remote shell's documentation.
When accessing an rsync daemon using a remote shell as the transport, this
option only comes into effect after the remote shell finishes its
authentication (i.e. if you have also specified a password in the daemon's
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.
dit(bf(24)) Partial transfer due to vanished source files
dit(bf(25)) The --max-delete limit stopped deletions
dit(bf(30)) Timeout in data send/receive
+dit(bf(35)) Timeout waiting for daemon connection
enddit()

dit(bf(RSYNC_PASSWORD)) Setting RSYNC_PASSWORD to the required
password allows you to run authenticated rsync connections to an rsync
daemon without user intervention. Note that this does not supply a
-password to a shell transport such as ssh.
+password to a remote shell transport such as ssh; to learn how to do that,
+consult the remote shell's documentation.
dit(bf(USER) or bf(LOGNAME)) The USER or LOGNAME environment variables
are used to determine the default username sent to an rsync daemon.
If neither is set, the username defaults to "nobody".
