Feel free to use a + fractional value along with a suffix, such as `--max-size=1.5m`. This option is a transfer rule, not an exclude, so it doesn't affect the data that goes into the file-lists, and thus it doesn't affect deletions. It just limits the files that the receiver requests to be transferred. - The accepted suffix letters are: `B`, `K`, `G`, `T`, and `P` for bytes, - kilobytes/kibibytes, megabytes/mebibytes, gigabytes/gibibytes, + The accepted suffix letters are: `B`, `K`, `M`, `G`, `T`, and `P` for + bytes, kilobytes/kibibytes, megabytes/mebibytes, gigabytes/gibibytes, terabytes/tebibytes, and petabytes/pebibytes. If you use a single-char suffix or add-on "ib" to it (e.g. "G" or "GiB") then you get units that are multiples of 1024. If you use a two-letter suffix that ends with a "B"
