+=item B<--cache> | B<--nocache>
+
+Force the use of the caching daemon or force direct file access. If B<--cache>
+is given, B<RRDTool> will try to contact the caching daemon B<RRDd> and will
+fail if it cannot connect to the daemon. If the connection is successfully
+established the values will be sent to the daemon instead of accessing the
+files directly. If B<--nocache> is given no connection attempt is made. If
+neither option is specified B<RRDTool> will try to contact the daemon and, if
+no connection may be established, will fall back to direct file access.
+
+Examples:
+
+  rrdtool update --cache /var/lib/rrd/foo.rrd N:123
+  rrdtool update --nocache /var/lib/rrd/bar.rrd N:234
+
+=item B<--daemon> I<address>
+
+Specifies the address of the caching daemon. If I<address> begins with C<unix:>
+the everything after this prefix will be considered to be a UNIX domain socket.
+Otherwise the address is interpreted as network address or node name as
+understood by L<getaddrinfo(3)>. One practical consequence is that both, IPv4
+and IPv6, may be used if the system supports it.
+
+Examples:
+
+  rrdtool update --daemon unix:/tmp/rrdd.sock /var/lib/rrd/foo.rrd N:123
+  rrdtool update --daemon ::1 /var/lib/rrd/bar.rrd N:234
