dit(bf(--no-blocking-io)) Turn off bf(--blocking-io), for use when it is the
default.
dit(bf(--what-has-changed)) Outputs a change-summary for each updated
item. The format is as follows:
quote(tt( *XcstpogDL ITEM_NAME))
The bf(*) will be present if this is a file that is being transferred,
otherwise it will be replaced with a space. The bf(X) will be replaced by
one of the following: an "f" for a file, a "d" for a dir, an "L" for a
symlink, or a "D" for a device. The rest of the letters in the string
above are the actual letters that will be output if the associated
attribute for the item is being updated; if not the letter will be replaced
by either a "-" if no change is occurring, or a "+" if this is a new item.
The meanings of the attribute letters are as follows:
itemize(
it() The bf(c) means the checksum of the file is different and will be
updated by the file transfer (requries bf(--checksum)).
it() A bf(s) means the size of the file is different and will be updated
by the file transfer.
it() A bf(t) means the modified time is being updated to the server's
value (requires --times, but transferred files without --times will be
marked with a bf(T) because the time is updated to the transfer time).
it() A bf(p) means the permissions are being updated (requires
bf(--perms)).
it() The bf(o) means the owner is being updated (requires bf(--owner) and
root privileges).
it() The bf(g) means the group is being updated (requires bf(--group)).
it() The bf(D) means the device is being updated (requires bf(--devices)
and root privileges).
it() The bf(L) means the symlink value is being updated (requires
--links).

dit(bf(--log-format=FORMAT)) This allows you to specify exactly what the
