rsync - Mar 2004 - How to getting clean list of transferred files

Hello,

i am using currently rsync-2.6.0 with option --log-format=%f to produce 
a list of the transferred files. This list is then used to generate 
hard-links for backup-purposes.

Now rsync sometimes generates messages like "file has vanished: ..."
on
STDOUT (_not_ STDERR) which breaks this processing.

When using option -q there is no output at all.

Is there any way to get a "clean" list of the transferred files
(without
doing things like grep or sed on the output stream)?

Regards,
Markus

Sounds at least surprising. Just prepare a patch to output this on
stderr if your scripts break.

Well, "grep -v" would IMHO be the "natural" way to clean the
output.
Long-term solution is more like patching rsync to use stderr, though...
