trailing whitespace in a parameter value is discarded. Internal whitespace
within a parameter value is retained verbatim.
-Any line beginning with a hash (#) is ignored, as are lines containing
-only whitespace.
+Any line bf(beginning) with a hash (#) is ignored, as are lines containing
+only whitespace. (If a hash occurs after anything other than leading
+whitespace, it is considered a part of the line's content.)
Any line ending in a \ is "continued" on the next line in the
customary UNIX fashion.
The first parameters in the file (before a [module] header) are the
global parameters.
+Rsync also allows for the use of a "[global]" module name to indicate the
+start of one or more global-parameter sections (the name must be lower case).
You may also include any module parameters in the global part of the
config file in which case the supplied value will override the
name contains whitespace, each internal sequence of whitespace will be
changed into a single space, while leading or trailing whitespace will be
discarded.
+Also, the name cannot be "global" as that exact name indicates that
+global parameters follow (see above).
As with GLOBAL PARAMETERS, you may use references to environment variables in
the values of parameters. See the GLOBAL PARAMETERS section for more details.
generate (since the information goes into the log file). The default is 1,
which allows the client to request one level of verbosity.
+This also affects the user's ability to request higher levels of bf(--info) and
+bf(--debug) logging. If the max value is 2, then no info and/or debug value
+that is higher than what would be set by bf(-vv) will be honored by the daemon
+in its logging. To see how high of a verbosity level you need to accept for a
+particular info/debug level, refer to "rsync --info=help" and "rsync --debug=help".
+For instance, it takes max-verbosity 4 to be able to output debug TIME2 and FLIST3.

dit(bf(lock file)) This parameter specifies the file to use to

locking on this file to ensure that the max connections limit is not
