Note that output flushing via zero-direction rays is disabled with |

set to zero. |

Output flushing at fixed intervals may be enabled with the |
125 |
+ |
.I \-x |
126 |
+ |
option, which specifies the number of records |
127 |
+ |
(-c accumulations) before each flush. |
128 |
+ |
If the |
129 |
+ |
.I \-y |
130 |
+ |
option is also set, then periodic flushing is disabled and the |
131 |
+ |
output size for an RGB image is the taken from the x and y dimensions. |
132 |
+ |
In lieu of periodic flushing, a flush may be forced as mentioned above |
133 |
+ |
by sending a sample with a zero direction vector, although you |
134 |
+ |
must still send a full record of rays before output occurs. |

If progress reports are desired, the |
137 |

.I \-t |
138 |

option specifies a time interval in seconds for reports sent to |
139 |
+ |
standard error. |
140 |

This requires that the number of input samples is known, meaning a |

parameter has been specified. |
