Hello.

I am using rsync with --hard-links and -ii and want to get some
clarification on what the initial 'h' in the output means.

For example:

# rsync -naiiSPAHX --link-dest=/.snapshots/daily.9/jenny/ ../daily.9/jenny/ 
jenny
sending incremental file list
hf          home/jennifer/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring.temp-1009839767

I'm interpreting that to mean a hard link is being created.  Is that
correct?

But if I inspect the source and destination, the hard link already
exists:


# pwd
/.snapshots/daily.8
# ls -li 
../daily.{9,8}/jenny/home/jennifer/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring.temp-1009839767
                                                                    
104079794 -rw-------. 12276 jennifer jennifer 218510 May 25  2021 
../daily.8/jenny/home/jennifer/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring.temp-1009839767   
                                 
104079794 -rw-------. 12276 jennifer jennifer 218510 May 25  2021 
../daily.9/jenny/home/jennifer/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring.temp-1009839767   
                                 

So is my understanding of that:

hf          home/jennifer/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring.temp-
1009839767

line incorrect?

Cheers,
b.
