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 <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/>.

       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).
