-- you either use a double colon :: instead of a single colon to separate the
- hostname from the path, or you use an rsync:// URL.
-- the first word of the "path" is actually a module name.
-- the remote daemon may print a message of the day when you connect.
-- if you specify no path name on the remote daemon then the list of accessible
- paths on the daemon will be shown.
-- if you specify no local destination then a listing of the specified files on
- the remote daemon is provided.
-- you must not specify the [`--rsh`](#opt) (`-e`) option (since that overrides
- the daemon connection to use ssh -- see [USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A

+- Use either double-colon syntax or rsync:// URL syntax instead of the
+ single-colon (remote shell) syntax.
+- The first word of (at least) the first "path" is actually a module name.
+- Additional remote source args use an abbreviated syntax as discussed in
+ [ADVANCED USAGE](#).
+- The remote daemon may print a "message of the day" when you connect.
+- If you specify only the host (with no module or path) then a list of
+ accessible modules on the daemon is output.
+- If you specify a remote source path but no destination, a listing of the
+ matching files on the remote daemon is output.
+- The [`--rsh`](#opt) (`-e`) option must be omitted to avoid changing the
+ connection style from using a socket connection to [USING RSYNC-DAEMON
+ FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION](#).
