-    - If --inplace is specified, the generator flags any transfer that is
-      using an alternate basis file so that the sender can use the entire
-      basis file in the rsync algorithm (unlike a normal --inplace update).

+      follows in vstring format (see below).

+    - If a file is being transferred with an alternate-basis file, the
+      appropriate bit is enabled in the flag-word and a single-byte
+      follows, indicating what type of basis file was chosen.  If that

+      length string that has its size written prior to the string, and
+      no terminating null.  If the string is from 1-127 bytes, the length
+      is a single byte.  If it is from 128-32767 bytes, the length is
+      written as ((len >> 8) | 0x80) followed by (len % 0x100).
