.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Syncthing lets you synchronize your files bidirectionally 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.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-audit
Write events to timestamped file \fBaudit\-YYYYMMDD\-HHMMSS.log\fP\&.
.UNINDENT

.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-home=<dir>
Set configuration directory. The default configuration directory is

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\&.
.SH PROXIES
.sp
Syncthing can use a SOCKS, HTTP, or HTTPS proxy to talk to the outside
world. The proxy is used for outgoing connections only \- it is not possible
to accept incoming connections through the proxy. The proxy is configured
through the environment variable \fBall_proxy\fP\&. Somewhat unusually, this
variable must be named in lower case \- it is not “ALL_PROXY”. For
example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ export all_proxy=socks://192.0.2.42:8081
.ft P

.SH DEVELOPMENT SETTINGS
.sp
The following environment variables modify Syncthings behavior in ways that
are mostly useful for developers. Use with care.
If you start Syncthing from within service managers like systemd or supervisor,
path expansion may not be supported.
