Title: [Solved] bitcoind -? doesnt show many of the commands it used to Post by: callmejoe on February 12, 2024, 04:48:23 PM running bitcoind -? or bitcoin-cli -? at the command line used to give me a pretty exhaustive list of options. I am noticing now many are now not listed (dumpwallet, getblockcount,getaddressbylabel,sendtoaddress,etc.)
i found them here https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/rpc/index.html But why were they removed from the help pages? Or am I missing something. Back 3-4 years ago this is how I learned to use bitcoin at the command line.

I tried to send a command using the command you use and yes it doesn't show these commands I searched in Google to find out why these aren't listed on "-?" but I couldn't find it.

"bitcoin-cli help" was it. it's funny because i has tried "bitcoin-cli --help" but that just gives the abbreviated list too.thanks for confirming my memory!

command ? command help command [blank but needs some arguments to work] all gave more or less the same help info. Now as the OP has mentioned you get different levels of info. It's not just bitcoin but a lot of apps. Not sure why this practice has become more common but it's happening. -Dave |
