.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Syncthing is an application that lets you synchronize your files across multiple
devices. This means the creation, modification or deletion of files on one
machine will automatically be replicated to your other devices. We believe your
data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored. Therefore
Syncthing does not upload your data to the cloud but exchanges your data across
your machines as soon as they are online at the same time.

Some of these exit codes are only returned when running without a monitor
process (with environment variable \fBSTNORESTART\fP set). Exit codes over 125 are
usually returned by the shell/binary loader/default signal handler. Exit codes
over 128+N on Unix usually represent the signal which caused the process to
exit. For example, \fB128 + 9 (SIGKILL) = 137\fP\&.
