How about
<@andrewTO> alias unbuf='stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0'
then unbuf rsync
i have not tested this in any way.
--progress would be some interesting stuff to parse, esp with all the screen redrawing
of the K/s line as well as background deletes and scans overwriting while
--progress of the previous file occurs. Ever try to parse ANSI screendraw output?
