Merge #14364: doc: Clarify -blocksdir usage
ccc27bdcd2 doc: Clarify -blocksdir usage (Daniel McNally) Pull request description: This PR attempts to clarify and correct the `-blocksdir` argument description and default value. `-blocksdir` does not refer to the full path to the actual `blocks` directory, but rather the root/parent directory which contains the `blocks` directory. Accordingly, the default value is `<datadir>` and not `<datadir>/blocks` - this behavior of defaulting to the datadir can also be seen in init.cpp: ```cpp if (gArgs.IsArgSet("-blocksdir")) { path = fs::system_complete(gArgs.GetArg("-blocksdir", "")); if (!fs::is_directory(path)) { path = ""; return path; } } else { path = GetDataDir(false); } ``` It also attempts to clarify that only the `.dat` files containing block data are impacted by `-blocksdir`, not the index files. I believe this would close #12828.
