=head1 DESCRIPTION
Sets the name and location of the PID-file. If not specified, the default,
C<I<$localststedir>/run/rrdcached.pid> will be used.
+=item B<-t> I<write_threads>
+
+Specifies the number of threads used for writing RRD files. The default
+isE<nbsp>4. Increasing this number will allow rrdcached to have more
+simultaneous I/O requests into the kernel. This may allow the kernel to
+re-order disk writes, resulting in better disk throughput.
+
=item B<-j> I<dir>
Write updates to a journal in I<dir>. In the event of a program or system
updated by the daemon, assuming the base directory
"/tmp".
+B<WARNING:> The paths up to and including the base directory B<MUST NOT BE>
+symbolic links. In other words, if the base directory is
+specified as:
+
+ -b /base/dir/somewhere
+
+... then B<NONE> of the following should be symbolic links:
+
+ /base
+ /base/dir
+ /base/dir/somewhere
+
=item B<-B>
Only permit writes into the base directory specified in B<-b> (and any
Removes I<filename> from the cache. Any pending updates B<WILL BE LOST>.
+=item B<QUEUE>
+
+Shows the files that are on the output queue. Returns zero or more lines
+in the following format, where E<lt>num_valsE<gt> is the number of values
+to be written for the E<lt>fileE<gt>:
+
+ <num_vals> <file>
+
=item B<HELP> [I<command>]
Returns a short usage message. If no command is given, or I<command> is
server: 1 message for command 1
server: 12 message for command 12
+=item B<QUIT>
+
+Disconnect from rrdcached.
