A literal backslash that is in a filename is not escaped unless it is followed by a hash and 3 digits (0-9). dit(bf(-h, --human-readable)) Output numbers in a more human-readable format. -This makes big numbers output using larger units, with a K, M, or G suffix. If -this option was specified once, these units are K (1000), M (1000*1000), and -G (1000*1000*1000); if the option is repeated, the units are powers of 1024 -instead of 1000. +There are 3 possible levels: (1) output numbers with a separator between each +set of 3 digits (either a comma or a period, depending on if the decimal point +is represented by a period or a comma); (2) output numbers in units of 1000 +(with a character suffix for larger units -- see below); (3) output numbers in +units of 1024. + +The default is human-readable level 1. Each bf(-h) option increases the level +by one. You can take the level down to 0 (to output numbers as pure digits) by +specifing the bf(--no-human-readable) (bf(--no-h)) option. + +The unit letters that are appended in levels 2 and 3 are: K (kilo), M (mega), +G (giga), or T (tera). For example, a 1234567-byte file would output as 1.23M +in level-2 (assuming that a period is your local decimal point). + +Backward compatibility note: versions of rsync prior to 3.1.0 do not support +human-readable level 1, and they default to level 0. Thus, specifying one or +two bf(-h) options behaves the same in old and new versions as long as you +didn't specify a bf(--no-h) option prior to one or more bf(-h) options. dit(bf(--partial)) By default, rsync will delete any partially transferred file if the transfer is interrupted.
