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    instructions    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 "--verbose" can reset  the  value  of  other
       log-related options that were read before.

       The  recommended  set of options to debug DICOM communications is "--verbose --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 execution of Orthanc

       --openapi=[file]
              write the OpenAPI documentation and exit (if "file" is "-", 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

   Fine-tuning of log categories:
       --verbose-generic
              be verbose in logs of category "generic"

       --trace-generic
              use highest verbosity for logs of category "generic"

       --verbose-plugins
              be verbose in logs of category "plugins"

       --trace-plugins
              use highest verbosity for logs of category "plugins"

       --verbose-http
              be verbose in logs of category "http"

       --trace-http
              use highest verbosity for logs of category "http"

       --verbose-sqlite
              be verbose in logs of category "sqlite"

       --trace-sqlite
              use highest verbosity for logs of category "sqlite"

       --verbose-dicom
              be verbose in logs of category "dicom"

       --trace-dicom use highest verbosity for logs of category "dicom"

       --verbose-jobs
              be verbose in logs of category "jobs"

       --trace-jobs
              use highest verbosity for logs of category "jobs"

       --verbose-lua be verbose in logs of category "lua"

       --trace-lua
              use highest verbosity for logs of category "lua"

   Exit status:
       0      if success,

       -1     if error (have a look at the logs).
