OPTIONS
Options for both config file and command line: --api-allow <arg> Allow API access only to the given list of [G:]IP[/Prefix] addresses[/subnets] --api-description <arg> Description placed in the API status header, default: cgminer version --api-groups <arg> API one letter groups G:cmd:cmd[,P:cmd:*...] defining the cmds a groups can use --api-listen Enable API, default: disabled --api-network Allow API (if enabled) to listen on/for any address, default: only 127.0.0.1 --api-port <arg> Port number of miner API (default: 4028) --balance Change multipool strategy from failover to even share balance --benchmark Run cgminer in benchmark mode - produces no shares --bfl-range Use nonce range on bitforce devices if supported --compact Use compact display without per device statistics --debug|-D Enable debug output --device|-d <arg> Select device to use, (Use repeat -d for multiple devices, default: all) --disable-gpu|-G Disable GPU mining even if suitable devices exist --disable-rejecting Automatically disable pools that continually reject shares --expiry|-E <arg> Upper bound on how many seconds after getting work we consider a share from it stale (default: 120) --failover-only Don't leak work to backup pools when primary pool is lagging --fix-protocol Do not redirect to a different getwork protocol (eg. stratum) --gpu-dyninterval <arg> Set the refresh interval in ms for GPUs using dynamic intensity (default: 7) --gpu-platform <arg> Select OpenCL platform ID to use for GPU mining (default: -1) --gpu-threads|-g <arg> Number of threads per GPU (1 - 10) (default: -1) --lookup-gap <arg> Set GPU lookup gap for scrypt mining, comma separated --intensity|-I <arg> Intensity of GPU scanning (d or -10 -> 20, default: d to maintain desktop interactivity) --hotplug <arg> Seconds between hotplug checks (0 means never check) --kernel-path|-K <arg> Specify a path to where bitstream and kernel files are (default: "/usr/lib/cgminer") --kernel|-k <arg> Override sha256 kernel to use (diablo, poclbm, phatk or diakgcn) - one value or comma separated --load-balance Change multipool strategy from failover to efficiency based balance --log|-l <arg> Interval in seconds between log output (default: 5) --lowmem Minimise caching of shares for low memory applications --monitor|-m <arg> Use custom pipe cmd for output messages --net-delay Impose small delays in networking to not overload slow routers --no-restart Do not attempt to restart GPUs that hang --no-submit-stale Don't submit shares if they are detected as stale --pass|-p <arg> Password for bitcoin JSON-RPC server --per-device-stats Force verbose mode and output per-device statistics --protocol-dump|-P Verbose dump of protocol-level activities --queue|-Q <arg> Minimum number of work items to have queued (0+) (default: 1) --quiet|-q Disable logging output, display status and errors --real-quiet Disable all output --remove-disabled Remove disabled devices entirely, as if they didn't exist --rotate <arg> Change multipool strategy from failover to regularly rotate at N minutes (default: 0) --round-robin Change multipool strategy from failover to round robin on failure --scan-time|-s <arg> Upper bound on time spent scanning current work, in seconds (default: -1) --sched-start <arg> Set a time of day in HH:MM to start mining (a once off without a stop time) --sched-stop <arg> Set a time of day in HH:MM to stop mining (will quit without a start time) --scrypt Use the scrypt algorithm for mining (litecoin only) --shaders <arg> GPU shaders per card for tuning scrypt, comma separated --sharelog <arg> Append share log to file --shares <arg> Quit after mining N shares (default: unlimited) --socks-proxy <arg> Set socks4 proxy (host:port) --syslog Use system log for output messages (default: standard error) --temp-cutoff <arg> Temperature where a device will be automatically disabled, one value or comma separated list (default: 95) --text-only|-T Disable ncurses formatted screen output --thread-concurrency <arg> Set GPU thread concurrency for scrypt mining, comma separated --url|-o <arg> URL for bitcoin JSON-RPC server --user|-u <arg> Username for bitcoin JSON-RPC server --usb <arg> USB device selection --vectors|-v <arg> Override detected optimal vector (1, 2 or 4) - one value or comma separated list --verbose Log verbose output to stderr as well as status output --worksize|-w <arg> Override detected optimal worksize - one value or comma separated list --userpass|-O <arg> Username:Password pair for bitcoin JSON-RPC server --worktime Display extra work time debug information Options for command line only: --config|-c <arg> Load a JSON-format configuration file See example.conf for an example configuration. --default-config <arg> Specify the filename of the default config file Loaded at start and used when saving without a name. --help|-h Print this message --ndevs|-n Display number of detected GPUs, OpenCL platform information, all USB devices, and exit --version|-V Display version and exit
