-MvP - Is it a kind of magic?

[SteffDrive (Stefan Neupert)]

HI all,

I use 'rclone bisync' and followed the instructions well. Works fine!

Not that I'm complaining, but can anyone explain to me what the -MvP parameter does?

I dug through the entire documentary but couldn't find anything about it.

These are not bisync specific options but global ones. They can be used with many other rclone commands.

You can find such flags description in general docs

-M - requests preserving metadata
-v - set verbosity of rclone output
-P - requests operation progress updates

You can also get short description by running rclone help flags, e.g.:

$ rclone help flags | grep -- -P,
  -P, --progress    Show progress during transfer

PS. magic flag still waits for somebody to implement it and submit PR. Maybe one day:)
