Orthanc 1.12.7                                     April 2025                                         ORTHANC(8)

       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-lineoptions:--help display this help and exit

       --logdir=[dir]
              directory where to store the log files (by default, the log is dumped to stderr)

              incompatible with former versions of Orthanc)

              don't restart the jobs that were stored during the last execution of Orthanc
