syncthing: Print the device ID.
$ syncthing -device-id
try on your machine
The command "syncthing -device-id" is used in Syncthing, a file synchronization tool, to display the device ID for the current device.
Syncthing uses device IDs as a unique identifier for each device participating in the file synchronization process. The device ID is a 52-character long random string that ensures the device can be identified and authenticated when connecting with other devices in the network.
By running the command "syncthing -device-id," you can obtain the device ID for the current device. This ID can then be shared with other Syncthing users or used in configuration settings to establish connections and sync files between devices.
