Is their a guide to the console?

[yozzh]

I am looking for a guide to the console. One that explains the various features such as:

addrequest, broadcast, check_seed, create, createmultisig, createrawtx, decrypt, deseed, deserialize, dumpprivkeys, encrypt, freeze, getaddressbalance, getaddresshistory, getaddressunspent, getalias, getbalance, getconfig, getmerkle, getmpk, getprivatekeys, getproof, getpubkeys, getrequest, getseed, getservers, gettransaction, getutxoaddress, help, history, importprivkey, ismine, listaddresses, listcontacts, listrequests, listunspent, make_seed, password, payto, paytomany, restore, rmrequest, searchcontacts, setconfig, setlabel, signmessage, signtransaction, sweep, unfreeze, validateaddress, verifymessage, version.

The Electrum page is not very helpful: https://electrum.orain.org/wiki/List_of_commands and the -h option does not work.

Any ideas? Many thanks.

On the Windows Client?

Code:

help()

gives you all available options

you call every other function the same way:

Code:

functionName(argument1, argument2, argument3, argumentN)

necessary arguments can be found in the source code of the client:

Using your operating system's command line (shell/command prompt NOT electrum console) you can do

Code:

electrum help

and

Code:

electrum help <command_name>

to get command specific help. For example

Code:

electrum help listaddresses
