The %i format is a set of cryptic characters that are output as follows:
quote(tt( *Xcstpog ITEM_NAME))
quote(tt( =Xcstpog ITEM_NAME))
The bf(*) is either bf(<) (receive), bf(>) (send), or bf(*) (--dry-run) if
the item is being transferred, otherwise it is a space. This lets you
distinguish between a file that is getting its attributes changed and a
file whose content is being updated. Note that when a symlink or a device
gets its value changed, that is considered to be a transfer.
The bf(=) is output as either a bf(<) (receive) or a bf(>) (send) if the
item is being transferred, a bf(.) if only the attributes are being
updated, or a bf(=) if the items are identical. Note that when a symlink
or a device gets its value changed, that is considered to be a transfer (as
opposed to a change in permissions or ownership).
The bf(X) will be replaced by one of the following: an "f" for a file, a
"d" for a dir, an "L" for a symlink, or a "D" for a device.
The rest of the letters in the string above are the actual letters that
will be output if the associated attribute for the item is being updated;
otherwise the letter will be replaced by a "." for no change, a "+"
for a new item, or a "?" if the attribute is not known (which happens when
talking to an older rsync). The meanings of the attribute letters are as
follows:
will be output if the associated attribute for the item is being updated or
a "." for no change. Three exceptions to this are: (1) a newly created
item replaces each letter with a "+", (2) an identical item replaces each
letter with a space, and (3) an unknown attribute replaces each letter with
a "?" (this happens when talking to an older rsync).
The attribute that is associated with each letter is as follows:

One other output is possible: when deleting files, each deleted file will
be logged with the "%i" taking on a value of "deleting".

can ensure that rsync won't wait on a dead client forever. The timeout
