rsync to report file size using `--out-format`












0















I would like rsync to report the file size at the source location for all files being reported when I use --itemize-changes or --out-format. For example, I know I can use the following format, "%i %f", to provide the type of change and the file name; however, I cannot find the correct escape code for file size. I tried %b but seem that related to bytes transferred and reports 0 for files that are not being changed.



Thanks in advance for the help.

          This seems to be what you are looking for:




          %l   the length of the file in bytes




          (That's a lower case L.)



          Source: https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsyncd.conf.html
          or man 5 rsyncd.conf.
