Overview
The NodeCore CommandLine can access an instance of NodeCore
Commands: Not Connected
When first started, the command line is not connected.
clear
Standard command, clears the screen
connect
Connects to an instance of nodecore via gRPC, on port 10500.
If connected to a node, then many other commands are available.
Syntax:
connect <peer>
Examples:
#connect to an instance connect 77.46.106.162:10500
help
Standard help command.
Syntax:
help [command]
Examples:
#returns list of available commands help #returns info for a specific command help connect
quit
Standard quit command, exits the console
Commands: Connected
Once the CLI is connected to a NodeCore instance, then there are many other commands that can be run.
addnode
Add a peer node to the local configuration and connect. After adding a node, you should see it when running getpeerinfo,
Syntax
addnode <peer>
Example
# input addnode 93.130.33.180:6500 #output (also run getpeerinfo to see the node added) rpc (127.0.0.1:10500) > { "payload": {}, "success": true, "messages": [] }
disconnect
Simply disconnects from the current NodeCore instance
getblocktemplate
Returns a block template along with candidate transactions
Syntax
getblocktemplate [mode] [capabilities]
Examples:
getblocktemplate #returns info for a specific command rpc (77.46.106.162:10500) > { "payload": { "target": -7236281451971613363, "size_limit": 1232896, "block_height": 37625, "coinbase_value": 500000000000, "minimum_timestamp": 1516502622, "current_timestamp": 1516503768, "previous_block_hash": "00000002F22575136B63F90BBAB423CC1241C0ED8EA6FB40", "mutable": [ "timestamp", "transactions" ], "transactions": [ { "fee": 121, "weight": 221, "required": true, "transaction_id": "2EB013AC6B62D192FD0EA3D8DBB757BB8D4F6008BC3A17846A42CBB629F27D58", "transaction": { "type": "signed", "signed": { "signature": "304402202F8DDB95B57F536C5317B19C63BDBF41314BBEB9C8A02484DCF09C9069FB2F6F022077902BDC9CDE23BA9FFD6256E9DF57BB37D9D21EF6D793F8B2A2959789A60110", "public_key": "3056301006072A8648CE3D020106052B8104000A034200042704DEA2E9BDB74133E298C3AAD8E76588E48AED614674869380B959BB49DF69E8DAA1B7EF4E14240952C2BB082C89FB54A528D6502F8934E1BDA95F651F8D29", "signature_index": 27, "transaction": { "size": 56, "txid": "2EB013AC6B62D192FD0EA3D8DBB757BB8D4F6008BC3A17846A42CBB629F27D58", "data": "", "type": "standard", "fee": 121, "source_amount": 1121, "merkle_path": "", "source_address": "VazUQm9TaPmbhTWEi6FYUUPp28Eynq", "bitcoin_transaction": "", "bitcoin_block_header": "", "endorsed_block_header": "", "outputs": [ { "address": "VEP6ZjXby6Ska22bb4fcrirL4Dj2Vo", "amount": 1000 } ] } } }, "depends": [] } ] }, "success": true, "messages": [] }
