Can anyone help to explain definitions of variable append_mode?
There are two different type of appending (see the man page) depending
on how new rsync is and how much of the file should be checksummed.
We are studying ver 3.0.5.
So there are three states:
1) append_mode = 0, NONE append mode.
2) append_mode = 1, --append
If file size on the receiver is the same or longer than the size on the
sender, the file is skipped
3) append_mode = 2, --append-verify
This works just like the --append option, but the existing data on the
receiving side is included in the full-file checksum verification step
The
option is also disabled if a file is being fixed during a redo event.
I didn't get it. Can u help to explain a little bit more? Thanks.
But I still doesn't know why append_mode = -append_mode in those
files?
generate.c #line2102,2127
append_mode = -append_mode;
receive.c #line503,513
append_mode = -append_mode;
send.c #line248,254
append_mode = -append_mode;
