<td class="Texte"> <h1>Options</h1>
<p>Options can be used in the <a href="../commandline/index.htm">command
line</a> or checked on the synchronization form in <a href="../interactive/index.htm">interactive
mode</a>. </p>
<h2>Copy options</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>/s</strong>: Copy subfolders.</li>
<li><strong>/e</strong>: Copie empty subfolders. Meaningless without /s.</li>
<li><strong>/r</strong>: Overwrite read-only files.</li>
<li><strong>/d</strong>: Preserve newer files. Only older files will be
overwritten.</li>
<li><strong>/u</strong>: Only copy existing files. No new file will be
created.</li>
<li><strong>/z</strong>: Synchronize. Delete target files if they are
not in the source. </li>
<li><strong>/x="List"</strong>: excludes files and folders
according to the patterns.
<ul>
<li>Wildcards<strong> *</strong> and <strong>?</strong> can
be used. Separate the patterns by <strong>;</strong>.
Examples: </li>
</ul>
</li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>/x="*\Local Settings\*" : excludes the <em>Local
settings</em> folder.</li>
<li>/x="*\temp\*;*.bak;*\~*" : excludes the <em>Temp</em> folder,
files whose extension is <em>.bak</em>, and files and folders
starting with <em>~</em>.</li>
</ul>
<li>For advanced users, other characters are available:
<ul>
<li><strong>#</strong> is for a digit (more restrictive than <strong>?</strong>)</li>
<li><strong>[</strong>A<strong>-</strong>E<strong>]</strong> is
for all characters between A and E, whatever the case,
eventually including accented characters depending on the system
locale (accented e are excluded here because they come after
E in the sort order)</li>
<li><strong>[!</strong>B<strong>-</strong>D<strong>]</strong> is
for all characters except those between B and D.</li>
<li>Example: The file <em>C:\aM5b.exe</em> will not be copied
with option /x="C:\a[L-P]#[!c-e]*"</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<h2>Behavior options</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>/n</strong>: Do not prompt before creating new files.</li>
<li><strong>/y</strong>: Do not prompt before deleting files</li>
<li><strong>/g</strong>: Do not prompt stop processing when errors occur <strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>/w</strong>: Prompt before closing the window at the end of
the synchronization.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2>Command line only</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>/go</strong> launches the synchronization in console mode.
Messages are displayed in the active command console. If /n and /y
options are used, no user intervention is needed.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h1>Example:</h1>
<ul>
<li><strong>Synchro "C:\Tools\My Docs.syn" /go</strong> runs
the synchronization saved in "My Docs.syn". It starts automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Synchro /Source=C:\Source Target=C:\Target /s /e /n /z /l=C:\Synchro.log
</strong> synchronizes C:\Target on C:\Source. It copies subfolders,
even empty, does not prompt before creating files (but prompts before
deleting), and deletes extra files in the target. Everything is recorder
in the C:\Synchro.log file.</li>
</ul>
