That is the behavior +selected by \fB\-\-sparse\fR=\fI\,auto\/\fR. Specify \fB\-\-sparse\fR=\fI\,always\/\fR to create a sparse DEST +file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes. +Use \fB\-\-sparse\fR=\fI\,never\/\fR to inhibit creation of sparse files. +.PP +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 similar to the \fB\-\-no\-clobber\fR option, in that no files in the +destination are replaced, but also skipped files do not 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 +When \fB\-\-reflink\fR[=\fI\,always\/\fR] is specified, perform a lightweight copy, where the +data blocks are copied only when modified. If this is not possible the copy +fails, or if \fB\-\-reflink\fR=\fI\,auto\/\fR is specified, fall back to a standard copy. +Use \fB\-\-reflink\fR=\fI\,never\/\fR to ensure a standard copy is performed. +.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.
