This change is not documented in the wiki or nowhere else and it's puzzling to guess why your regtest JSON-rpc connections all failed even if you're following the docs.

869193f5a6 docs: fixed bitcoin-cli -help output for help2man (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: Currently `bitcon-cli -help` output forces help2man to produce `.TP` and `.IP` commands instead of a single `.IP` command for `-stdinrpcpass` option. Removing an extra space fixes this issue.

2018-08-13docs: fixed bitcoin-cli -help output for help2manHennadii Stepanov
The `help2man` parses a string containing two spaces between words with an issue: it gives out `.TP` and `.IP` commands instead of a single `.IP` command. Removing an extra space fixes this issue. Currently the `-help` output for the `-stdin` option looks without any issue due to eliminating of two spaces between words by a `FormatParagraph` call for this particular case. For consistency and preventing from future regressions extra spaces have been removed from the both lines. The redundant `strprintf` call has been removed aswell.

2018-08-04[docs] Reformat -help output for help2manTim Ruffing
This commit slightly changes the format of the "Usage" strings in CLI `-help` messages to meet the expection of the help2man tool, which we use to generate man pages. On the way, we remove a few calls to `strprintf()`, which became superficial after commit 32fbfda.

2018-05-30Stop translating command line optionsWladimir J. van der Laan
Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g. #10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it. Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx. For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should not affect the output **in any way** except for bitcoin-qt when a non-English language is configured in the locale. This implements #10962.

2018-03-03Create new wallet databases as directories rather than filesRussell Yanofsky
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly, instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log directory (for incompletely flushed wallets). Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of data from all wallets in the environment.

(251) Pull request description: Granted that there is no undefined behavior in the current implementation, this PR implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in the event that an object of a potential future derived BaseRequestHandler class with a destructor is destroyed through a pointer to this base class. This PR also fixes "_warning: delete called on 'BaseRequestHandler' that is abstract but has non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor]_" warnings in environments where the project is built with the `-Wsystem-headers` flag; or environments where the `-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor` diagnostics flag fires from system headers.

2018-02-05Clarify help messages for path args to mention datadir prefixJames O'Beirne
Change `-conf`'s and others' help messages to indicate that relative path values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior is confusing when attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with `-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin datadir.

2017-09-27rpc: Handle `getinfo` locally in bitcoin-cli w/ `-getinfo`Wladimir J. van der Laan
This adds the infrastructure `BaseRequestHandler` class that takes care of converting bitcoin-cli arguments into a JSON-RPC request object, and converting the reply into a JSON object that can be shown as result. This is subsequently used to handle the `-getinfo` option, which sends a JSON-RPC batch request to the RPC server with `["getnetworkinfo", "getblockchaininfo", "getwalletinfo"]`, and after reply combines the result into what looks like a `getinfo` result. There have been some requests for a client-side `getinfo` and this is my PoC of how to do it. If this is considered a good idea some of the logic could be moved up to rpcclient.cpp and used in the GUI console as well. Extra-Author: Andrew Chow <achow101@gmail.com>
