+=item B<--daemon> I<address>
+
+Address of the L<rrdcached> daemon. If specified, a C<flush> command is sent
+to the server before reading the RRD files. This allows B<rrdtool> to return
+fresh data even if the daemon is configured to cache values for a long time.
+For a list of accepted formats, see the B<-l> option in the L<rrdcached> manual.
+
+ rrdtool fetch --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock /var/lib/rrd/foo.rrd AVERAGE
+
+Please note that due to thread-safety reasons, the time specified with B<-s>
+and B<-e> cannot use the complex forms described in
+L<"AT-STYLE TIME SPECIFICATION">. The only accepted arguments are "simple
+integers". Positive values are interpreted as seconds since epoch, negative
+values (and zero) are interpreted as relative to I<now>. So "1272535035" refers
+to "09:57:15 (UCT), April 29th 2010" and "-3600" means "one hour ago".
