rsync_dirs: Sync two directories using the system 'rsync'

In BigelowLab/rscripting: Simple tools for scripting with Rscript

Sync two directories using the system rsync

Description

In rsync there is a complete test on the change of a file before copying. Using cp_dir perfoms a simpler test for changes, so it might be faster. I think for most pipeline uses it may be better to use cp_dir since pipelines are a once-and-done task.

Usage

rsync_dirs(src, dst, flags = "-rcv")

Arguments

src	character the fully qualified source directory
dst	character the fully qualified destination directory
flags	charcater flags for rsync, by default '-rvc'

Value

the output of the systems rsync command (0 = good!)
