NAME

       rrdflushcached - Flush the values for a spcific RRD file from memory.

SYNOPSIS

       rrdtool flushcached [--daemon address] filename [filename ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The flushcached function connects to rrdcached, the RRD caching daemon, and issues a "flush" command for the given files. The daemon will
       put the files to the head of the update queue so they are written "soon". The status will be returned only after the files' pending updates
       have been written to disk.

       filename
	       The name(s) of the RRD file(s) that are to be written to disk.

       --daemon address
	       Address of the rrdcached daemon. If not specified, the RRDCACHED_ADDRESS environment variable must be set (see below).  For a list
	       of accepted formats, see the -l option in the rrdcached manual.

		rrdtool flush --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock /var/lib/rrd/foo.rrd

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables may be used to change the behavior of "rrdtool flushcached":

       RRDCACHED_ADDRESS
	   If this environment variable is set it will have the same effect as specifying the "--daemon" option on the command line. If both are
	   present, the command line argument takes precedence.
