UPDATE controls which existing files in the destination are replaced.
|
|
\&'all' is the default operation when an \fB\-\-update\fR option is not specified,
|
|
and results in all existing files in the destination being replaced.
|
|
\&'none' is like the \fB\-\-no\-clobber\fR option, in that no files in the
|
|
destination are replaced, and skipped files do not induce a failure.
|
|
\&'none\-fail' also ensures no files are replaced in the destination,
|
|
but any skipped files are diagnosed and induce a failure.
|
|
\&'older' is the default operation when \fB\-\-update\fR is specified, and results
|
|
in files being replaced if they're older than the corresponding source file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The backup suffix is '~', unless set with \fB\-\-suffix\fR or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
|
|
The version control method may be selected via the \fB\-\-backup\fR option or through
|
|
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
|
|
.TP
|
|
none, off
|
|
never make backups (even if \fB\-\-backup\fR is given)
|
|
.TP
|
|
numbered, t
|
|
make numbered backups
|
|
.TP
|
|
existing, nil
