environment variable.

dit(bf(--rsync-path=PATH)) Use this to specify the path to the copy of
rsync on the remote machine. Useful when it's not in your path. Note
that this is the full path to the binary, not just the directory that
dit(bf(--port=PORT)) This specifies an alternate TCP port number to use
rather than the default port 873.
-dit(bf(--blocking-io)) This specifies whether rsync will use blocking
-IO when launching a remote shell transport. You may find this is
-needed for some remote shells that can't handle the default
-non-blocking IO.
+dit(bf(--blocking-io)) This tells rsync to use blocking IO when launching
+a remote shell transport. If -e or --rsh are not specified or are set to
+the default "rsh", this defaults to blocking IO, otherwise it defaults to
+non-blocking IO. You may find the --blocking-io option is needed for some
+remote shells that can't handle non-blocking IO. Ssh prefers blocking IO.
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
rsync builds a ordered list of include/exclude options as specified on
the command line. When a filename is encountered, rsync checks the

-pattern is acted on. If it is an exclude pattern than that file is
+pattern is acted on. If it is an exclude pattern, then that file is
skipped. If it is an include pattern then that filename is not
skipped. If no matching include/exclude pattern is found then the
filename is not skipped.
try specifying the -vv option. At this level of verbosity rsync will
show why each individual file is included or excluded.
