The `remsync' command and arguments
===================================

   At the shell prompt, calling the command `remsync' without any
parameters initiates an interactive dialog, in which the user types
commands and receives feedback from the program.

   The command `remsync', given at the shell prompt, may have
arguments, in which case these arguments taken together form one
`remsync' interactive command.  However, `--help' and `--version'
options are interpreted especially, with their usual effect in GNU.
Once this command has been executed, no more commands are taken from
the user and `remsync' terminates execution.  This allows for using
`remsync' in some kind of batch mode.  It is unwise to redirect
`remsync' standard input, because user interactions might often be
needed in ways difficult to predict in advance.

   The two most common usages of `remsync' are the commands:

     remsync b
     remsync p

   The first example executes the `broadcast' command, which sends
synchronization packages to all connected remote sites for the current
local directory tree.

   The second example executes the `process' command, which studies and
complies with a synchronisation package saved in the current directory
(not necessarily into the synchronized directory tree), under the usual
file name `remsync.tar.gz'.
