rsync - Feb 2006 - Info about "File list size" in --stats

Hi!

I have a very short and simple question:
When using the --stats option in rsync, see result below, what does the 
term: "File list size: 46" mean?
As "Number of files" is 1, I am sure it does not reflect number of 
files copied. But what is its significance?

Number of files: 1
Number of files transferred: 1
Total file size: 51380224 bytes
Total transferred file size: 51380224 bytes
Literal data: 3556096 bytes
Matched data: 47824128 bytes
File list size: 46


I am sorry if this has been asked before.
I have been trying to search samba.org for the answer, but not found 
anything.

Thanks for your feedback!

Best regards,
Richard Taubo

It means that rsync wrote 46 bytes across the wire when sending the
file-list info from the sender to the receiver.  This is not (yet)
documented in the man page.
