+SUMMARY="rsync is a utility for fast incremental file transfer"
+DESCRIPTION="
+rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the
+'rsync algorithm' which provides a very fast method for bringing
+remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences
+in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of
+files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand."
