So I've got this situation where I have two systems connected via a protocol that looks nothing at all like IP, and I'd like to be able to rsync between them.
I can, though, open a perfectly normal looking socket through various magic and trickery. I've managed to get rsync to work by using the "rsync --rsh=mymagictransportprogram" style invocation, but for a number of reasons this isn't really a viable long-term solution for me. What I'd like to be able to do is either: A: Set up stdin/stdout and exec rsync with some options that tell it that there's a remote rsync on the other end of those FDs, or B: Call rsync as a library, passing it a socket and directory(^Hies) to sync with. (librsync doesn't seem to be quite what I want) Basically I need to set up the socket beforehand and then hand it to rsync somehow. This seems to be possible on the 'remote' end, but I haven't managed to figure out how to do on the initiation side. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
