commit 9e9d33a2dbea31cae0fa0b74d7765e8e7899375d
Author: Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org>
Date: Sun Apr 5 11:21:02 2020 -0700
Added the --write-devices option.
This is a fleshed out version of the old one in the patches repo with
documentation & proper handling of the implied --inplace option for a
daemon's option-rufusing considerations. I ommitted the -w short option
as I would hate for someone to turn this on accidentally.

dit(bf(-D)) The bf(-D) option is equivalent to bf(--devices) bf(--specials).
-dit(bf(--write-devices)) This tells rsync to treat a device as though it were
-a regular file, allowing both the writing of file data into a device on the
-receiving side and the reading of the device's data on the sending side. It
