I guess, when in doubt check the doc's. The FIRST step when you have

>From TFM:
SYMBOLIC LINKS
Three basic behaviors are possible when rsync encounters a
symbolic link in the source directory.
By default, symbolic links are not transferred at all. A
message "skipping non-regular" file is emitted for any symlinks
that exist.
