It's like ps -"aux", It's a command that you say in your head as you
type it" "pee ess dash augchs". Say it like your parents are from
Berlin as you type and it rolls off your fingers.
Same thing with "rsync -plarv"... You have to say it like it's "Speak
like a pirate day." Say "Plarrrrvvvvgh!" (silent 'gh') and then you
never forget the rsync options that 'work.'
-aPv ?? Maybe "-Pav" ? Still doesn't have the ring to it.
-PG
