Number of files to be transferred?

[Eric Busto]

Looking at it now.  :)
 
Looks like I just need to print out file_list.count.

	Oh... different story then... 

	I'm sure that value that is printed with --stats is in the
filelist structure... maybe it could be output on stdout after "building
file list..." with a small tweak... Maybe Wayne/Matt would know where
this variable is?

	Unfortunately, the data I am transferring is many hundreds of
gigabytes, mounted on NFS shares that reside on NetApp filers, and is
being transferred to locations on the other side of the globe.  A dry
run can itself take an hour or more, quite easily.

	 

	Since rsync is already doing a pass through the filesystem to
determine what to transfer, it would be cool if there was a way to show
how many files it will transfer during that sync.

		If you perform a dry run (-n) with --stats, before the
actual run (will only add an overhead of typically a few seconds... a
few minutes at worst depending on size) you can get an idea of the
"number of files to be transferred" and "total transferred file size",

		although the latter is (as adequately labeled) "total",
and does not represent the lower total size that would be transferred
after skipping any similar blocks.

		I'm writing a wrapper around a large number of rsyncs
that need to happen, and it would be great if I could parse the output
of a running rsync and find out how far along it is.  To do this, I
would need to know how many files the rsync is going to transfer.  If I
run 'rsync -avz --progress', it tells me how many files it is
considering, but not how many it actually needs to update.

		Does anyone know how to get rsync to show how many files
it will actually update? 

		Thanks!
