This section continues to summarize rsync options, now covering topics such as partial file handling, delayed updates, pruning empty directories, numeric IDs, user/group mapping, timeouts, ignoring times, size-only comparisons, modification time accuracy, temporary directory specification, fuzzy matching, comparing/copying/linking to destination files, compression, CVS-style exclusion, filtering, including/excluding files, reading files from a list, argument protection, trusting the sender, copying as a specific user/group, address binding, port specification, custom TCP options, blocking I/O, output buffering, statistics, 8-bit output, human-readable output, progress display, itemizing changes, remote options, output formatting, logging, password files, early input, listing only, bandwidth limiting, and stopping after a specified time.
