Starting with rsync 3.1.0, the sizes output by `--list-only` are affected
by the [`--human-readable`](#opt) option. By default they will contain
digit separators, but higher levels of readability will output the sizes
with unit suffixes. Note also that the column width for the size output
has increased from 11 to 14 characters for all human-readable levels. Use
`--no-h` if you want just digits in the sizes, and the old column width of
11 characters.
This option always uses an output format that looks similar to this:
> drwxrwxr-x 4,096 2022/09/30 12:53:11 support
> -rw-rw-r-- 80 2005/01/11 10:37:37 support/Makefile
The only option that affects this output style is (as of 3.1.0) the
[`--human-readable`](#opt) (`-h`) option. The default is to output sizes
as byte counts with digit separators (in a 14-character-width column).
Specifying at least one `-h` option makes the sizes output with unit
suffixes. If you want old-style bytecount sizes without digit separators
(and an 11-character-width column) use `--no-h`.
Compatibility note: when requesting a remote listing of files from an rsync
that is version 2.6.3 or older, you may encounter an error if you ask for a
