Summary: Structured Output (for Simpler Parsing)
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: me at haravikk.com
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
Currently the output from rsync for itemised output and stats is nice and human
friendly, but it'd be nice if a flag could be set that would give output in an
easier to parse format for scripts etc.
For example, with stats enabled all of the relevant stats may be given in the
final line of output in a tab-delimited format in a specific, documented, order
with all values in bytes, allowing a script to simply use awk or read to easily
parse and process these.
While it is possible to parse the current output after a fashion, it's not
guaranteed to remain consistent in future so I'm not sure whether it's safe to
rely on the format, so something specifically intended (and optimised) for
parsing would be better.
