See: Main_Page

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.

addallowed

Adds an IP to the whitelist. See: NodeCore_Networking. See command NodeCore_CommandLine#clearallowed

Syntax

addallowed <address>

Example

# input
addallowed 33.33.33.33

# This will update [[nodecore.properties]] file:
# rpc.whitelist.addresses=33.33.33.33

#output
rpc (127.0.0.1:10500) > {
  "payload": {},
  "success": true,
  "messages": []
}

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": []
}

backupwallet

Backup the wallet of the NodeCore instance to the given location.

Syntax

backupwallet <targetLocation>

Example

# input
backupwallet C:\Temp\myBackup2.dat

#output
rpc (127.0.0.1:10500) > {
  "payload": {},
  "success": true,
  "messages": []
}

clearallowed

Clears the list of allowed addresses. See command NodeCore_CommandLine#addallowed.

Syntax

clearallowed

Example

# input
clearallowed

# This will update [[nodecore.properties]] file:
# rpc.whitelist.addresses=

#output
rpc (127.0.0.1:10500) > {
  "payload": {},
  "success": true,
  "messages": []
}

disconnect

Simply disconnects from the current NodeCore instance
