-dit(bf(--checksum-seed=NUM)) Set the checksum seed to the integer
-NUM. This 4 byte checksum seed is included in each block and file
-checksum calculation. By default the checksum seed is generated
-by the server and defaults to the current code(time()). This option
-is used to set a specific checksum seed, which is useful for
-applications that want repeatable block and file checksums, or
-in the case where the user wants a more random checksum seed.
-Setting NUM to 0 causes rsync to use the default of code(time())
-for checksum seed.
