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

       -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
