Introduction This system has been merged into OpenBSD base. If you'd like to contribute to openrsync, please mail your patches to [email protected]. This repository is simply the OpenBSD version plus some glue for portability. This is an implementation of rsync with a BSD (ISC) license. It's compatible with a modern rsync (3.1.3 is used for testing, but any supporting protocol 27 will do), but accepts only a subset of rsync's command-line arguments. Its officially-supported operating system is OpenBSD, but it will compile and run on other UNIX systems. See Portability for details. The canonical documentation for openrsync is its manual pages. See rsync(5) and rsyncd(5) for protocol details or utility documentation in openrsync(1).
