the man page changed recently (Mon Dec 7 21:19:28 2020) and the EXIT
STATUS section has currently the following text:
EXIT STATUS
The syspatch utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. In
particular, 2 indicates that applying patches was requested but no
additional patch was installed.
see http://man.openbsd.org/syspatch#EXIT_STATUS
