Kind of off topic, but you know what would be cool? If you had an ‘man explain’ command that would define all the flags/args in a command, like:

man explain rsync --append-verify --progress -avz -e “ssh -p 2222” root@$dip:/sdcard/DCIM/Camera newphonepix

Would give you:

<span style="color:#323232;">rsync - a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      --append-verify          --append w/old data in file checksum
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      --progress               show progress during transfer
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      --archive, -a            archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      --verbose, -v            increase verbosity
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      --compress, -z           compress file data during the transfer
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      --rsh=COMMAND, -e        specify the remote shell to use 
</span>

etc.
