+@chapter Invoking cuirass
+@cindex invoking cuirass
+@cindex cuirass invocation
+@cindex options for invoking cuirass
+
+The usual way to invoke @code{cuirass} is as follows:
+
+@example
+cuirass --specifications @var{specs}
+@end example
+
+Additionally the following options can be used.
+
+@table @code
+@item --one-shot
+Instead of executing @code{cuirass} as a daemon looping over the jobs.
+Only evaluate and build the specifications once.
+
+@item --cache-directory=@var{directory}
+@var{directory} is the place where the VCS repositories used by the jobs
+are stored.
+
+@item --specifications=@var{specifications-file}
+@itemx -S @var{specifications-file}
+Add the specifications defined in @var{specifications-file} in the job
+database before launching the evaluation and build processes.
+
+@item --database=@var{database}
+@itemx -D @var{database}
+Use @var{database} as the database containing the jobs and the past
+build results. Since @code{cuirass} uses SQLite as a database engine,
+@var{database} must be a file name.  If the file doesn't exist, it will
+be created.
+
+@item --interval=@var{n}
+@itemx -I @var{n}
+Wait @var{n} seconds between each poll.
+
+@item --use-substitutes
+This can be useful when you are not interested in building the
+dependencies of a particular job.
+
+@item --version
+@itemx -V
+Display the actual version of @code{cuirass}.
+
+@item --help
+@itemx -h
+Display an help message that summarize all the options provided.
