NAME

       renderd - Rendering daemon for rendering OpenStreetMap tiles.

SYNOPSIS

       renderd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the renderd command.

       renderd  is  a  rendering  daemon for map tiles with the mapnik library. It receives render requests on a
       socket. Renderd queues requests in a number of different  queues  to  manage  load  while  rendering  the
       requests  with the mapnik library. By default renderd will start as a daemon.  It will log information in
       the syslog.

OPTIONS

       This programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').
       A summary of options is included below.

       -f|--foreground
              Run renderd in the foreground for debugging purposes.

       -c|--config
              Set  the location of the config file used to configure the various parameters of renderd, like the
              mapnik style sheet. The default is /etc/renderd.conf

       -s|--slave
              Renderd can be used in a distributed fashion across multiple rendering servers. The master renderd
              handles  queuing  and  passes  requests to the slaves. This parameter specifies which of the slave
              sections of renderd.conf applies to this instance of renderd. The default is  to  use  the  master
