Summary
This article describes openrsync, a BSD (ISC) licensed implementation of the rsync file synchronization tool. It has been merged into OpenBSD base and is compatible with modern rsync (protocol 27), though it accepts only a subset of command-line arguments. The project is primarily for OpenBSD but can compile and run on other UNIX systems. Contributions are accepted via patches to the OpenBSD tech mailing list.
