transfer without implying that partial transfers be en‐
abled. See the --partial‐dir option for full details.
RSYNC_COMPRESS_LIST
This environment variable allows you to customize the negotiation
of the compression algorithm by specifying an alternate order or
a reduced list of names. Use the command rsync --version to see
the available compression names. See the --compress option for
full details.
RSYNC_CHECKSUM_LIST
This environment variable allows you to customize the negotiation
of the checksum algorithm by specifying an alternate order or a
reduced list of names. Use the command rsync --version to see
the available checksum names. See the --checksum‐choice option
for full details.
RSYNC_MAX_ALLOC
This environment variable sets an allocation maximum as if you
had used the --max‐alloc option.
RSYNC_PORT
This environment variable is not read by rsync, but is instead
set in its sub‐environment when rsync is running the remote shell
in combination with a daemon connection. This allows a script
such as rsync‐ssl to be able to know the port number that the
user specified on the command line.
HOME This environment variable is used to find the user’s default
.cvsignore file.
RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG
This environment variable is mainly used in debug setups to set
the program to use when making a daemon connection. See CONNECT‐
ING TO AN RSYNC DAEMON for full details.
RSYNC_SHELL
This environment variable is mainly used in debug setups to set
the program to use to run the program specified by RSYNC_CON‐
NECT_PROG. See CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC DAEMON for full details.
