List of rsync output / error messages

[Alberto Accomazzi]

Joseph,

check out the header file errcode.h in the rsync distribution.
That file and the structure found in log.c map the system exit codes to 
the error messages you refer to, so the best way to programmatically
catch errors is simply to check the exit status returned by rsync.
