LITECOIN-WALLET(1)

📦 version 0.21.4, in debian trixie

💖 LITECOIN-WALLET — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is litecoin-wallet, and it's from the litecoin-wallet v0.21.4.0 era of things. It's a User Commands page. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So Litecoin Core ships this little cutie called litecoin-wallet, and its version string is literally v0.21.4.0-dirty. Yes, "dirty". It's giving working-in-progress, and we respect that. 💅

Here's the vibe: litecoin-wallet is an offline tool for creating and interacting with Litecoin Core wallet files. Offline! No network drama, no gossip, just you and your wallet file having a little moment. 🫶

By default, litecoin-wallet will act on wallets in the default mainnet wallet directory in the datadir. That's the default behavior, no cap.

Wanna point it at a different wallet instead? Totally valid, use the -datadir, -wallet and -testnet/-regtest arguments. That's the whole toolkit for switching targets. ✨

🌸 Usage:

litecoin-wallet [options] <command>

Options first, then the command. Order matters, bestie, don't fight it.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -? — prints this help message and then dips (exits). The classic "help me" move. 🙈
  • -datadir=<dir> — tell it which data directory to use. You're specifying the directory, that's it.
  • -wallet=<wallet-name> — tell it which wallet to act on, by name.

🧚 Debugging/Testing options:

  • -debug=<category> — output debugging information. Default is 0, so it's quiet unless you ask. If you're a snoop (affectionate), this is your button. 👑
  • -printtoconsole — send trace/debug info to the console. Default is 1 when no -debug is true, and 0 otherwise. So yes, the default flips depending on whether -debug is doing anything. Sneaky little conditional. 💀

🌈 Chain selection options:

  • -chain=<chain> — use the chain <chain>, default is main. Allowed values are: main, test, signet, regtest. Pick one, bestie. ✨
  • -signet — use the signet chain. It's equivalent to -chain=signet. Important note: the network is defined by the -signetchallenge parameter. So this flag alone isn't the whole story. 🦋
  • -signetchallenge — blocks must satisfy the given script to be considered valid. Only for signet networks, and it defaults to the global default signet test network challenge. It's the bouncer at the door of the chain. 💅
  • -signetseednode — specify a seed node for the signet network, in the hostname[:port] format, e.g. sig.net:1234. You can use it multiple times to specify multiple seed nodes. It defaults to the global default signet test network seed node(s). Multiple! Obsessed. 🔥
  • -testnet — use the test chain. Equivalent to -chain=test. Simple as that. ⭐

💜 Commands:

  • create — create new wallet file. Baby wallet, born today. 🎀
  • info — get wallet info. The gossip sesh. 👑
  • salvage — attempt to recover private keys from a corrupt wallet. Warning: salvage is experimental. Like, actually experimental. Don't be surprised if it's chaotic. 💀
