-----------------------------------------
-- wallet.sh : Exercise wallet send/receive code.
-- walletbackup.sh : Exercise wallet backup / dump / import
-- txnmall.sh : Test proper accounting of malleable transactions
- conflictedbalance.sh : More testing of malleable transaction handling
Notes
=====
+You can run a single test by calling `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh <testname>`.
+
+Run all possible tests with `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh -extended`.
+
+Possible options:
+
+````
+-h, --help show this help message and exit
+ --nocleanup Leave bitcoinds and test.* datadir on exit or error
+ --noshutdown Don't stop bitcoinds after the test execution
+ --srcdir=SRCDIR Source directory containing bitcoind/bitcoin-cli (default:
+ ../../src)
+ --tmpdir=TMPDIR Root directory for datadirs
+ --tracerpc Print out all RPC calls as they are made
+```
+
+If you set the environment variable `PYTHON_DEBUG=1` you will get some debug output (example: `PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh wallet`).

A 200-block -regtest blockchain and wallets for four nodes
is created the first time a regression test is run and
is stored in the cache/ directory. Each node has 25 mature
