--stats give some file-transfer stats
--progress show progress during transfer
-P same as --partial --progress
- -w, --what-has-changed output a change summary for all updates
+ -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
This tells rsync not to update files that already exist on
the destination.
-dit(bf(--max-delete=NUM)) This tells rsync not to delete more than NUM
-files or directories. This is useful when mirroring very large trees
-to prevent disasters.
-
-dit(bf(--max-size=SIZE)) This tells rsync to avoid transferring any
-file that is larger than the specified SIZE. The SIZE value can be
-suffixed with a letter to indicate a size multiplier (K, M, or G) and
-may be a fractional value (e.g. "bf(--max-size=1.5m)").
-
dit(bf(--delete)) This tells rsync to delete extraneous files from the
receiving side (ones that aren't on the sending side), but only for the
directories that are being synchronized. You must have asked rsync to
is only relevant without bf(--delete) because deletions are now done depth-first.
Requires the bf(--recursive) option (which is implied by bf(-a)) to have any effect.
+dit(bf(--max-delete=NUM)) This tells rsync not to delete more than NUM
+files or directories. This is useful when mirroring very large trees
+to prevent disasters.

+dit(bf(--max-size=SIZE)) This tells rsync to avoid transferring any
+file that is larger than the specified SIZE. The SIZE value can be

dit(bf(-B, --block-size=BLOCKSIZE)) This forces the block size used in
the rsync algorithm to a fixed value. It is normally selected based on
the size of each file being updated. See the technical report for details.
dit(bf(--no-blocking-io)) Turn off bf(--blocking-io), for use when it is the
default.
-dit(bf(--what-has-changed)) 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:
-
-itemize(
- it() The 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() The bf(o) means the owner is being updated (requires bf(--owner) and
- root privileges).
- it() The bf(g) means the group is being updated (requires bf(--group)).
- it() The bf(D) means the device is being updated (requires bf(--devices)
- and root privileges).
- it() The bf(L) means the symlink value is being updated (requires
- --links).
-)
+dit(bf(-i, --itemize-changes)) Requests a simple itemized list of the
+changes that are being made to each file. It is equivalent to specifying
+bf(--log-format='%i %n%L'). See the description of these items in the
+rsyncd.conf manpage.
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
