Summary: SYNOPSIS "rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST" incorrect
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.4
Platform: All
URL: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The rsync man page SYNOPSIS line "rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST" must be
"rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [DEST]" instead (for listing remote files).
While I'm here, the SYNOPSIS seems less confusing this way (easier to see the
pattern):
rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:DEST
rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]::DEST
rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:PORT]/DEST
rsync [OPTION]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:SRC [DEST]
rsync [OPTION]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]::SRC [DEST]
rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
Likewise, GENERAL requires the reader to carefully read everything and try to
induce the logic behind it. It would be better if the reader would only need to
use deduction instead. There's also the mismatch between :: equals rsync: for
direct communication and only :: when using a remote shell to complicate
matters.
(This report's rsync version may be irrelevant, the man page mentions "30 Mar
2005".)
