CVSIGNORE
The CVSIGNORE environment variable supplements any ignore
patterns in .cvsignore files. See the --cvs-exclude
option for more details.
RSYNC_ICONV
Specify a default --iconv setting using this environment
variable. (First supported in 3.0.0.)
RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS
Specify a non-zero numeric value if you want the
--protect-args option to be enabled by default, or a zero
value to make sure that it is disabled by default. (First
supported in 3.1.0.)
RSYNC_RSH
The RSYNC_RSH environment variable allows you to override
the default shell used as the transport for rsync.
Command line options are permitted after the command name,
just as in the -e option.
RSYNC_PROXY
The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable allows you to
redirect your rsync client to use a web proxy when
connecting to a rsync daemon. You should set RSYNC_PROXY
to a hostname:port pair.
RSYNC_PASSWORD
Setting RSYNC_PASSWORD to the required password allows you
to run authenticated rsync connections to an rsync daemon
without user intervention. Note that this does not supply
a password to a remote shell transport such as ssh; to
learn how to do that, consult the remote shell's
documentation.
USER or LOGNAME
The USER or LOGNAME environment variables are used to
determine the default username sent to an rsync daemon.
If neither is set, the username defaults to "nobody".
HOME The HOME environment variable is used to find the user's
default .cvsignore file.
