OpenBSD newbie here. While trying to backup my OpenBSD configs to my
Arch Linux box, I noted a discrepancy between the openrsync(1) manpage
examples and what I encountered. The steps to reproduce are as follows:

```
$ uname -a
OpenBSD oberon.taranjali.org 7.2 GENERIC.MP#758 amd64
$ touch foo bar
$ rsync -av foo bar abhishek@192.168.1.3:/home/abhishek 
ksh: rsync: not found
$ openrsync -av foo bar abhishek@192.168.1.3:/home/abhishek 
Enter passphrase for key '/home/abhishek/.ssh/id_ed25519': 
Transfer starting: 2 files
bar
foo
Transfer complete: 56 B sent, 187 B read, 0 B file size
```

The EXAMPLES section for the openrsync(1) specifically mention rsync and
not openrsync. I did find an earlier thread related to this issue:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=162123821229046&w=2

The suggestion from that thread seems to be to use the rsync package
instead of openrsync. Is this still the case? And if not, shouldn't the
openrsync(1) manpage examples invoke openrsync instead of rsync?

Thank you for your time and consideration.
