+dit(bf(--partial)) By default rsync will delete any partially
+transferred file if the transfer is interrupted. In some circumstances
+it is more desirable to keep partially transferred files. Using the
+--partial option tells rsync to keep the partial file which should
+make a subsequent transfer of the rest of the file much faster.

 dit(bf(-p, --perms)) This option causes rsync to update the remote
 permissions to be the same as the local permissions.
