rsync - Mar 2008 - How does flist work

Hello Everyone,
I have been reading the rsync code for the past few days and Iam finding it
hard to understand how the file list works.
The info that I am looking for is - "Are the files processed in the same
order in both the receiver and generator processes?".

Thanx in advance for all the replies.

zahed.

The generator controls the action.  The receiver just reacts to the data
that arrives from the sender (which tells it what file to recreate), and
the sender is reacting to the data the comes from the generator.
