bitcoin -?
This doesn't work. It either starts the client normally, or errors out and says there's no password set in the (non existant) config file.
But, i was able to find something on the wiki by accident: a default
bitcoin.config file, with all defaults set in value pairs so that you can see what's going on.
But above that sat this, which didn't work for me "-?" before setting up my config file.
