Thanks for your answer about ${1:-abc}. It probably failed is because I tried it on Windows (I'm using rsync both on Linux for my distant server, and Windows locally). But it's perfect since rsync --read-batch=abc-diff abc works :)

@Basj The commands would do different things if $1 had a value. ${1:-abc} means "use the first positional parameter ($1) unless it's empty or undefined. In the case that it's empty or undefined, use abc instead". I'm assuming that $1 had a value when you tried it, possibly something that it interpreted as a remote destination address.

2/2 Is there a way to take abc as input, apply the patch diff-abc with --read-batch but not modify abc "in-place", but rather output to a new file abc3? (if possible all with rsync, without piping, so that it will work easily on Linux as well as Windows which also has rsync.exe available)

Thanks a lot @Kusalananda, it's great! PS: rsync --read-batch=abc-diff ${1:-abc} (automatically generated .sh script) gave remote destination is not allowed with --read-batch rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1326) [Receiver=3.1.2], but rsync --read-batch=abc-diff abc worked succesfully. What is the difference between these two similar commands?
