The total number of +addresses known to the node may be higher. +.HP +\fB\-color=\fR<when> +.IP +Color setting for CLI output (default: auto). Valid values: always, auto +(add color codes when standard output is connected to a terminal +and OS is not WIN32), never. +.HP +\fB\-conf=\fR<file> +.IP +Specify configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir +location. (default: bitcoin.conf) +.HP +\fB\-datadir=\fR<dir> +.IP +Specify data directory +.HP +\fB\-generate\fR +.IP +Generate blocks, equivalent to RPC getnewaddress followed by RPC +generatetoaddress. Optional positional integer arguments are +number of blocks to generate (default: 1) and maximum iterations +to try (default: 1000000), equivalent to RPC generatetoaddress +nblocks and maxtries arguments. Example: bitcoin\-cli \fB\-generate\fR 4 +1000 +.HP +\fB\-getinfo\fR +.IP +Get general information from the remote server. Note that unlike +server\-side RPC calls, the results of \fB\-getinfo\fR is the result of +multiple non\-atomic requests. Some entries in the result may +represent results from different states (e.g. wallet balance may +be as of a different block from the chain state reported) +.HP +\fB\-named\fR +.IP +Pass named instead of positional arguments (default: false) +.HP +\fB\-netinfo\fR +.IP +Get network peer connection information from the remote server. An +optional integer argument from 0 to 4 can be passed for different +peers listings (default: 0). Pass "help" for detailed help +documentation. +.HP +\fB\-rpcclienttimeout=\fR<n> +.IP +Timeout in seconds during HTTP requests, or 0 for no timeout. (default: +900) +.HP +\fB\-rpcconnect=\fR<ip> +.IP +Send commands to node running on <ip> (default: 127.0.0.1) +.HP +\fB\-rpccookiefile=\fR<loc> +.IP +Location of the auth cookie.

(default: 0) +.HP +\fB\-rpcwallet=\fR<walletname> +.IP +Send RPC for non\-default wallet on RPC server (needs to exactly match +corresponding \fB\-wallet\fR option passed to bitcoind). This changes +the RPC endpoint used, e.g. +http://127.0.0.1:8332/wallet/<walletname> +.HP +\fB\-stdin\fR +.IP +Read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl\-D +(recommended for sensitive information such as passphrases). When +combined with \fB\-stdinrpcpass\fR, the first line from standard input +is used for the RPC password. +.HP +\fB\-stdinrpcpass\fR +.IP +Read RPC password from standard input as a single line. When combined +with \fB\-stdin\fR, the first line from standard input is used for the +RPC password. When combined with \fB\-stdinwalletpassphrase\fR, +\fB\-stdinrpcpass\fR consumes the first line, and \fB\-stdinwalletpassphrase\fR +consumes the second. +.HP +\fB\-stdinwalletpassphrase\fR +.IP +Read wallet passphrase from standard input as a single line. When +combined with \fB\-stdin\fR, the first line from standard input is used +for the wallet passphrase. +.HP +\fB\-version\fR +.IP +Print version and exit +.PP +Debugging/Testing options: +.PP +Chain selection options: +.HP +\fB\-chain=\fR<chain> +.IP +Use the chain <chain> (default: main).
