+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+Lsyncd(1) watches local directory trees through an event monitor interface (inotify, fsevents)\&. It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one or more processes to synchronize the changes\&. By default this is rsync(1)\&. Lsyncd is thus a light\-weight asynchronous live mirror solution that is comparatively easy to install not requiring new filesystems or block devices and does not hamper local filesystem performance\&.
+.sp
+Rsync+ssh is an advanced action configuration that uses a SSH(1) to act file and directory moves directly on the target instead of re\-transmitting the move destination over the wire\&.
+.sp
+Fine\-grained customization can be achieved through the CONFIG\-FILE\&. Custom action configs can even be written from scratch in cascading layers ranging from shell scripts to code written in the LUA(1) language\&. This way simplicity can be balanced with powerfulness\&. See the online manual for details on the CONFIG\-FILE https://github\&.com/axkibe/lsyncd/wiki/Manual\-to\-Lsyncd\-2\&.0\&.x \&.
+.sp
+Note that under normal configuration Lsyncd will delete pre\-existing files in the target directories that are not present in the respective source directory\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fB\-delay\fR \fISECS\fR
+.RS 4

+.RS 4
+Continues start up even if rsync cannot connect\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-log\fR \fILEVEL\fR
+.RS 4
+Controls which kind of events are logged\&. By default Lsyncd logs
+\fINormal\fR
+and

+Messages\&.
+\fB\-log scarce\fR
+will make Lsyncd log Error messages only\&.
+\fB\-log all\fR
+will log all debug messages\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-log\fR \fICategory\fR
+.RS 4
+Turns on a specific debug message\&. E\&.g\&.
+\fB\-log Exec\fR
+will log all processes as they are spawned\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-nodaemon\fR
+.RS 4
+Lsyncd will not detach from the invoker and log as well to stdout/err\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-pidfile\fR \fIFILE\fR

+Lsyncd will write its process ID in
+\fIFILE\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-runner\fR \fIFILE\fR
+.RS 4
+Makes the Lsyncd core load the part of Lsyncd written in Lua from
+\fIFILE\fR\&.
