.SH DESCRIPTION
Litecoin Core RPC client version v0.21.3.0\-dirty
.SH OPTIONS
.HP
\-?
.IP
Print this help message and exit
.HP
\fB\-conf=\fR<file>
.IP
Specify configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir
location. (default: litecoin.conf)
.HP
\fB\-datadir=\fR<dir>
.IP
Specify data directory
.HP
\fB\-generate\fR
.IP
Generate blocks immediately, equivalent to RPC generatenewaddress
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:
litecoin\-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).
.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. Relative paths will be prefixed by a
net\-specific datadir location. (default: data dir)
.HP
\fB\-rpcpassword=\fR<pw>
.IP
Password for JSON\-RPC connections
.HP
\fB\-rpcport=\fR<port>
.IP
Connect to JSON\-RPC on <port> (default: 9332, testnet: 19332, signet:
39332, regtest: 19443)
.HP
\fB\-rpcuser=\fR<user>
.IP
Username for JSON\-RPC connections
.HP
\fB\-rpcwait\fR
.IP
Wait for RPC server to start
.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 litecoind). 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). Allowed values: main, test,
signet, regtest
.HP
\fB\-signet\fR
.IP
Use the signet chain. Equivalent to \fB\-chain\fR=\fI\,signet\/\fR. Note that the network
is defined by the \fB\-signetchallenge\fR parameter
.HP
\fB\-signetchallenge\fR
.IP
Blocks must satisfy the given script to be considered valid (only for
signet networks; defaults to the global default signet test
network challenge)
.HP
\fB\-signetseednode\fR
.IP
Specify a seed node for the signet network, in the hostname[:port]
format, e.g. sig.net:1234 (may be used multiple times to specify
multiple seed nodes; defaults to the global default signet test
network seed node(s))
.HP
\fB\-testnet\fR
.IP
Use the test chain. Equivalent to \fB\-chain\fR=\fI\,test\/\fR.
