rsync - Jul 2005 - rsync error ?

I'm not sure it is a real error or not,  when I run 'rsync' with no 
options on AIX 5.3, it has an error at the bottom of usage message, see 
below

# rsync
.......
.......
........
Use "rsync --daemon --help" to see the daemon-mode command-line
options.
Please see the rsync(1) and rsyncd.conf(5) man pages for full 
documentation.
See http://rsync.samba.org/ for updates, bug reports, and answers
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1097)

I know it is not a correct syntax to run 'rsync' without arguments, 
however, the error above give me the impression that this version of rsync 
is poor in error handling... I don't see this kind of error in previous 
version such as 2.4.5 ( I used this version before). 

Is there any way I can get rid of this kind of 'error' message if it is 
not a real bug, just some debug information. I have tried to re-compile 
rsync source with --enable-debug=no, but it doesn't work. 

Any help would be appreciate !

Regards,

Shitong (Steve) Wang

Running rsync without any options *is* a syntax error.  If all you want
to see is the help, use the --help option.

Thanks for the reply, this version of rsync is going to be used by a group 
of people, I need to convince them that this is not a real error, do you 
have any document which talks about this rsync behavior ? 

Or where I can found information explains those error messages ? 

Thanks,
