NAME
       Orthanc	- Lightweight, RESTful DICOM server for healthcare and medical
       research

SYNOPSIS
       Orthanc [OPTION]... [CONFIGURATION]

DESCRIPTION
       Orthanc, lightweight, RESTful DICOM server for healthcare  and  medical
       research.

       The  "CONFIGURATION"  argument  can be a single file or a directory. In
       the case of a directory, all the JSON files it contains will be merged.
       If no configuration path is given on the command line, a set of default
       parameters is used. Please refer to the Orthanc Book for the  full  in‐
       structions about how to use Orthanc <http://book.orthanc-server.com/>.

       Pay  attention  to the fact that the order of the options is important.
       Options are read left to right. In particular, options such as  "--ver‐
       bose"  can  reset the value of other log-related options that were read
       before.

       The recommended set of options to debug DICOM communications is "--ver‐
       bose --trace-dicom --logfile=dicom.log"

   Command-line options:
       --help display this help and exit

       --logdir=[dir]
	      directory  where	to store the log files (by default, the log is
	      dumped to stderr)

       --logfile=[file]
	      file where to store the log of Orthanc (by default, the  log  is
	      dumped to stderr)

       --config=[file]
	      create  a  sample configuration file and exit (if "file" is "-",
	      dumps to stdout)

       --errors
	      print the supported error codes and exit

       --verbose
	      be verbose in logs

       --trace
	      highest verbosity in logs (for debug)

       --upgrade
	      allow Orthanc to upgrade the version  of	the  database  (beware
	      that  the database will become incompatible with former versions
	      of Orthanc)

       --no-jobs
	      don't restart the jobs that were stored during the  last	execu‐
	      tion of Orthanc

       --openapi=[file]

	      dumps to stdout)

       --cheatsheet=[file]
	      write the cheat sheet of REST API as CSV and exit (if "file"  is
	      "-", dumps to stdout)

       --version
	      output version information and exit
