The only recognized path separator.
Quotes any character literally, including itself. \ is exclusively a quoting operator, not
a path separator.
Matches zero or more characters, except "/" or the . in "/.".
Matches any single character, except "/" or the . in "/.".
Matches exactly one of a set of characters, except "/" or the . in "/.".
When ^ is the first character, matches exactly one character not in the set.
When ! is the first character, matches exactly one character not in the set.
Matches exactly one of a range of characters.
For details about this type of wildcard, see any POSIX-standard guide to globbing.
Matches files only.
Matches directories only. With -N, no files under matched directories or their
subdirectories are included in the transfer. All subdirectories are still included,
although their files will not be included. However, with -E, excluding a directory also
excludes all files and subdirectories under it.
Matches both directories and files.
Like * but also matches "/" and the . in "/.".
Must match the entire string from the root of the transfer set. (Note: The leading /
does not refer to the system root or the docroot.)
