Wildcards are not escaped in filename args, but they are escaped in options
like the [`--suffix`](rsync.1#opt) and [`--usermap`](rsync.1#opt) values.
- If your rsync script depends on the old arg-splitting behavior, either run
- it with the [`--old-args`](rsync.1#opt) option or `export RSYNC_OLD_ARGS=1`
- in the script's environment. See also the [ADVANCED USAGE](rsync.1#)

+ If a script depends on the old arg behavior (perhaps because it quotes or
+ protects the args already, or perhaps because it expects arg splitting),

+ that are run. See also the [ADVANCED USAGE](rsync.1#) section of rsync's

- A long-standing bug was preventing rsync from figuring out the current
locale's decimal point character, which made rsync always output numbers
