Hello everyone, I have been exploring how to get the estimated binary diff size without changing the destination folder, but still have no answer. I have difficulty in solving this problem.
I want to do something like: rsync -av ~/src/ user@host::module/dst/ but I do not want the dst/ to be really changed. That is to say, I only want to get the estimated binary diff size (or says delta size) between /src and /dst. I tried the option -n (--dry-run) but it only lists which file will be changed rather than how many bytes are different (will be transferred). Could you please give me some help or heuristics?
