I read this about librsync here
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28724686/how-to-use-librsync-functions-to-open-remote-files>
:

"librsync does not implement the rsync wire protocol. If you want to talk
to an rsync server to transfer files you'll need to shell out to rsync.
librsync is for building other programs that transfer files as efficiently
as rsync. You can use librsync to make backup tools, distribute binary
patches to programs, or sync directories to a server or between peers."

Does this mean librsync and rsync are two different entities? Does this
imply my application using librsync woudln't be able talk to rsync server
on remote linux machine?

Thanks
Shahzad
