ixicli [-h] [-v] [-i ADDRESS] [-p PORT] [-u USERNAME] [-w PASSWORD] command [arguments]
| Short | Long version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -h | n/a | Display short help information |
| -v | n/a | Verbose mode. Displays more information about what the client is doing. |
| -i | --ip | Set DLTNode IP or hostname. If omitted, localhost is assumed. |
| -p | --port | Set DLTNode API port. If omitted, the default value of 8081 is used. |
| -u | --username | Set DLTNode API username, if the node requires authentication. |
| -w | --password | Set DLTNode API password, if the node requries authetnication. |
| n/a | --pretty | Prints the JSON result in a more human-readable form. |
| n/a | --stdin | Allow passing arguments via the command line, to avoid possible shell limits. |
The first argument without the - symbol is considered a method name. It should consist only of alphanumeric characters and underlines,
with no special characters.
Examples: getblock, status, txu
Some API methods require additional parameters. Any such values may be supplied on the command-line in the form:
name=value
In addition, longer arguments may also be supplied via the standard input, if the option --stdin is specified. In this case,
arguments are parsed in the same way as on the program command line (multiple arguments per line are allowed). Parsing is finished
when an empty line is encountered.
Complex values may be enclosed in double quotes " and may therefore contain all valid unicode characters, including space, equal sign and punctuation.
ixicli does not perform any kind of validation on these parameters and passes them on to the Node's API server for processing.
If duplicate arguments are specified, the later values will overwrite the earlier values with the same key. Note: key names are case-sensitive.
