NAME
       rndr - render a rib file

SYNOPSIS
       rndr [ -f <range> ] [ options ... ] [ -P:n | -t:n ] [ name.rib ...  ]
       rndr -r <port>
       rndr -k <port>
       rndr [ options... ] [ name.rib ...  ] -s <srv1:port1,srv2:port2...>

DESCRIPTION
       Rndr Renders a file with Pixie.

       The  main  documentation	 is  maintained	 in  html  form	 and should be
       included with your distribution in the html or doc directories.

       Note: If the filename given is '-' or no filename is given,  then  rndr
       will  read from standard input.	This is not valid for network renders,
       where the file needs to be shipped to the  server  rndr	instances  for
       them to read.

OPTIONS
       -f <range>
	      Render  only  selected frames.  Range can be of the form N for a
	      single frame, N1:N2 for N1 through to N2, or N1:N2:N3 for N1  to
	      N3 skipping, but only every N2 frames.

       -q     Quiet mode.  Errors and warnings are not displayed.

       -d     Framebuffer  display.   Overrides	 the  display drivers and uses
	      framebuffer.

       -t     Display statistics.  At the end of each  frame,  statistics  are
	      output.

       -p     Display  progress.   Displays  an	 updating progress line on the
	      terminal.

       -P:n   Specify the number of subprocesses for a multiprocessor  render.
	      May not be used with -r or -s.

       -t:n   Specify  the  number of threads for a multithreaded render.  May
	      not be used with -r or -s.

       -c <client port>
	      Specify a client (for subprocesses, used internally by rndr).
