Summary: PATCH SUBMITTED: New Feature: stdio model for client
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've created a simple patch that allows the user to specify '&<integer>' for
the hostname which causes it to use that specified file-descriptor as an
already connected socket so that a program can connect for rsync,
pre-communicate and then exec rsync (the normal stdio model).
The existing --rsh feature can perhaps just barely be used to do this if you
bend over backwards, but this simplifies it. But this allows the connection to
be made BEFORE even executing rsync rather than vice-versa.
I've also updated the man page. I didn't know what else might need to be
updated. I'll be glad to enhance it further if necessary
