salt.modules.rsync

Wrapper for rsync

New in version 2014.1.0.

This data can also be passed into pillar. Options passed into opts will overwrite options passed into pillar.

salt.modules.rsync.config(conf_path='/etc/rsyncd.conf')

Changed in version 2016.3.0: Return data now contains just the contents of the rsyncd.conf as a string, instead of a dictionary as returned from cmd.run_all.

Returns the contents of the rsync config file

conf_path
: /etc/rsyncd.conf

salt '*' rsync.config
salt.modules.rsync.rsync(src, dst, delete=False, force=False, update=False, passwordfile=None, exclude=None, excludefrom=None, dryrun=False, rsh=None)

Changed in version 2016.3.0: Return data now contains just the output of the rsync command, instead of a dictionary as returned from cmd.run_all.
