As it is working, <#162#><#1779#>rayshade<#1779#><#162#> informs you of its progress by writing
messages to a ``report file''. By default, the report file is the
standard error. The report itself consists of a number of
progress report lines consisting of the number of eye rays traced,
the total elapsed time, and the elapsed time since the last progress report.
The end of the report contains detailed statistics about intersection
tests performed, the number of rays traced, and the like.

Specify the kind of
information included in the report and to which
file it should be written.
If <#169#>verbose<#169#> is specified, the
report will also include a listing of the options selected,
the
bounding volumes of each aggregate,
and the total number of primitives in each aggregate.
<#170#>quiet<#170#> causes warning
messages to be suppressed. <#171#>freq<#171#> specifies the frequency,
in scanlines rendered, that progress reports are made.
If given, <#172#>file<#172#> names a file to which the report
will be written.
By default, a non-verbose, non-quiet report is
written to the standard error once every 10 lines.
The <#174#>-V<#174#> option may also be used to direct the report to a named file.
