dit(bf(--append)) This causes rsync to update a file by appending data onto
|
||||
the end of the file, which presumes that the data that already exists on
|
||||
the receiving side is identical with the start of the file on the sending
|
||||
side. If that is not true, the file will fail the checksum test, and the
|
||||
resend will do a normal bf(--inplace) update to correct the mismatched data.
|
||||
Only files on the receiving side that are shorter than the corresponding
|
||||
file on the sending side (as well as new files) are transferred.

|

are skipped. Files that do not yet exist on the receiving side are also
|
||||
sent, since they are considered to have 0 length. Implies bf(--inplace),
|
||||
but does not conflict with bf(--sparse) (since it is always extending a
|
||||
file's length).
|
||||
|
||||
dit(bf(--append-verify)) This works just like the bf(--append) option, but
|
||||
the existing data on the receiving side is included in the full-file
|
||||
checksum verification step, which will cause a file to be resent if the
|
||||
final verification step fails (rsync uses a normal, non-appending
|
||||
bf(--inplace) transfer for the resend).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: prior to rsync 3.0.0, the bf(--append) option worked like
|
||||
bf(--append-verify), so if you are interacting with an older rsync (or the
|
||||
transfer is using a protocol prior to 30), specifying either append option
|
||||
will initiate an bf(--append-verify) transfer.

dit(bf(-d, --dirs)) Tell the sending side to include any directories that

are encountered. Unlike bf(--recursive), a directory's contents are not copied
