rsync - Aug 2007 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4856] New: Filenames are displayed before successful transfer in verbose mode

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4856

           Summary: Filenames are displayed before successful transfer in
                    verbose mode
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.5.7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: rmasters@bunnings.com.au
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


Rsync displays the filenames to be transfered before a successful transfer
occurs. This can cause issues when analysing output for auditing.

To replicate: 
On node a:
mkdir -p /tmp/qq/
touch /tmp/qq/zzz

On node b:
mkdir -p /tmp/qq

On node a:
rsync -pogtv --rsh="ssh -2" -T /tmp/qq/temp /tmp/qq/* b:/tmp/qq |while
read
file ; do echo "**** $file" ; done

Note that file zzz appears to have been transferred, when it in fact has not.

Can the file be displayed only after successful transfer?

Rsync always outputs the filename to the console before the transfer to inform
the  user of what file it is working on.  If you specify a log file with
--log-file=FILE , rsync will write the filename to the log file after a
successful transfer.  If you want the filename to appear on the console after
the transfer, you can redirect rsync's stdout to /dev/null and specify
--log-file=/dev/tty .

This is not a bug; you're asking for help doing something.  Next time,
please
ask on the mailing list, rsync@lists.samba.org .

Note that the --out-format (formerly --log-format) option can also be used to
get file information at the end of the transfer, as mentioned in the manpage
(and the -v option points you at the --out-format option, since they two are
related):

 Rsync will output the out-format string prior to a  file’s  transfer  unless
 one  of  the  transfer-statistic escapes  is  requested,  in  which case the
 logging is done at the end of the file’s transfer.  When this late logging
is
 in effect and --progress is also specified, rsync will also output  the  name
 of  the  file  being transferred prior to its progress information (followed,
 of course, by the out-format output).

This method works with older rsync versions that don't support --log-file.
