manpageoptions()
rsync uses the GNU long options package. Many of the command line
options have two variants, one short and one long. These are shown
below, separated by commas. Some options only have a long variant.
The '=' for options that take a parameter is optional; whitespace
can be used instead.
Rsync accepts both long (double-dash + word) and short (single-dash + letter)
options. The full list of the available options are described below. If an
option can be specified in more than one way, the choices are comma-separated.
Some options only have a long variant, not a short. If the option takes a
parameter, the parameter is only listed after the long variant, even though it
must also be specified for the short. When specifying a parameter, you can
either use the form --option=param or replace the '=' with whitespace. The
parameter may need to be quoted in some manner for it to survive the shell's
command-line parsing. Keep in mind that a leading tilde (~) in a filename is
substituted by your shell, so --option=~/foo will not change the tilde into
your home directory (remove the '=' for that).
