Package: rsync
Version: 3.2.3-8
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
There seems to be a cosmetic error in the full description of the
--stop-after and --stop-at options in the rsync man page, where the
options are prepended by backticks and aren't shown in bold.
For a simple reproduction, you can run the following line:
man rsync | sed -n '/^OPTIONS/,${/--stop-after/,/--only-write-batch/p}'
On my system, this shows as follows (extraneous bits trimmed):
`--stop-after=MINS
This option tells rsync to ...
`--stop-at=y-m-dTh:m
This option tells rsync to ...
--write-batch=FILE
Record a file that can later ...
Note the first two options have backticks at the front, where the third
doesn't. The third format is what I would expect, and is how all the
other options in this manpage are shown too.
Kind regards,
Adam
