rsync - Mar 2007 - rsync api

does rsync have an api? (think I've read the answer in the archives and
that's yes)

where can I find documentation on the api? google thus far has been unable
to locate it for me and browsing around http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/

sorry if these seem like stupid questions. I'm a programming n00b, my
experience being "hello worlds", shell scripting (probably a moderate
level
in bash), and basic C programming in college. I have an open source project
in mind to "cut my teeth on" and one of it's functions uses rsync.
I'm going
to be writing my program in C as I need the speed of a compiled language.

any other help/advice/constructive criticism would be welcome

There's no API besides the command-line interface.  Programs that make
use of rsync tend to run it as an external command and interpret the
output (see --verbose (-v) and --itemize-changes (-i) for that).
