update being done, X is replaced by the
              file‐type, and the other letters represent attributes that may be
              output if they are being modified.

              The update types that replace the Y are as follows:

              o      A < means that a file is being transferred to  the  remote
                     host (sent).

              o      A  >  means  that a file is being transferred to the local
                     host (received).

              o      A c means that a local change/creation  is  occurring  for
                     the  item  (such  as  the  creation  of a directory or the
                     changing of a symlink, etc.).

              o      A h means that the item is a hard  link  to  another  item
                     (requires --hard‐links).

              o      A  .  means  that the item is not being updated (though it
                     might have attributes that are being modified).

              o      A * means that the rest of the itemized‐output  area  con‐
                     tains a message (e.g. "deleting").

              The  file‐types  that  replace the X are: f for a file, a d for a
              directory, an L for a symlink, a D for a device, and a  S  for  a
              special file (e.g. named sockets and fifos).

              The  other  letters  in the string indicate if some attributes of
              the file have changed, as follows:

              o      "." - the attribute is unchanged.

              o      "+" - the file is newly created.

              o      " " - all the attributes are unchanged (all dots  turn  to
                     spaces).

              o      "?"  -  the  change  is  unknown (when the remote rsync is
                     old).

              o      A letter indicates an attribute is being updated.

              The attribute that is associated with each letter is as follows:

              o      A c means either that  a  regular  file  has  a  different
                     checksum  (requires --checksum) or that a symlink, device,
                     or special file has a changed value.  Note that if you are
                     sending files to an rsync prior to 3.0.1, this change flag
                     will be present only for checksum‐differing regular files.

              o      A s means the size of a regular file is different and will
                     be updated by the file transfer.

              o      A t means the modification time is different and is  being
                     updated  to the sender’s value (requires --times).  An al‐
                     ternate value of T means that the modification  time  will
                     be  set  to  the  transfer  time,  which  happens  when  a
                     file/symlink/device is updated without --times and when  a
                     symlink  is  changed  and the receiver can’t set its time.
                     (Note: when using an rsync 3.0.0 client, you might see the
                     s flag combined with t instead of the proper  T  flag  for
                     this time‐setting failure.)

              o      A  p means the permissions are different and are being up‐
                     dated to the sender’s value (requires --perms).

              o      An o means the owner is different and is being updated  to
                     the sender’s value (requires --owner and super‐user privi‐
                     leges).

              o      A  g  means the group is different and is being updated to
                     the sender’s value (requires --group and the authority  to
                     set the group).

              o

                     o      A u|n|b indicates the following information:

                            u   means the access (use) time is different and is
                            being  updated  to  the  sender’s  value  (requires
                            --atimes)
