+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. To
+specify a UNIX domain socket use the prefix C<unix:>, see example below. Other
