💖 particl-wallet — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

ok so this is the manual page for particl-wallet from Particl Core — it's a User Commands girlie, she lives in section 1 of the manual, and honestly she's giving "tiny tool, huge power" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

particl-wallet — the manual page for particl-wallet v23.2.10.0. that's it. that's the name. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay bestie, gather round. This is Particl Core particlwallet version v23.2.10.0 — and particlwallet is an offline tool for creating and interacting with Particl Core wallet files. Like, it doesn't need the network to do its thing, it just vibes with your wallet files directly. 💅

By default, particlwallet will act on wallets in the default mainnet wallet directory inside the datadir. So if you just run it with no notes, that's where it's poking around.

Wanna point it at a different wallet? No problem, bestie — use the datadir, wallet and regtest/signet/testnet arguments. mix and match, that's the whole vibe 🎀

✨ Usage ✨

particlwallet [options] <command>

that's the whole shape of it. options first, then one command. simple periodt.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay here's the full menu, no skips, no cuts, no "eh you probably won't need this one" — every single one is below 🫶

  • ? — prints this help message and exits. the classic "help me help you" move.
  • datadir=<dir> — specify data directory. tell her where your stuff lives.
  • descriptors — create a descriptors wallet. only for create. (iykyk what a descriptor wallet is, and if you don't, that's fine, just know it's a create-only situation ✨)
  • dumpfile=<file name> — when used with dump, writes out the records to this file. when used with createfromdump, loads the records into a new wallet. same flag, two totally different jobs, main character energy honestly 👑
  • format=<format> — the format of the wallet file to create. either "bdb" or "sqlite". only used with createfromdump. pick your fighter 💀
  • legacy — create a legacy wallet. only for create. yes, legacy. no, not deprecated in this page, don't come for me, it literally just says create a legacy wallet.
  • version — print version and exit. quick little flex.
  • wallet=<walletname> — specify wallet name. which wallet? this wallet. 🎯

🔥 Debugging/Testing options: 🔥

  • debug=<category> — output debugging information (default: 0).
  • printtoconsole — send trace/debug info to console (default: 1 when no debug is true, 0 otherwise). so like, it's already chatting unless you told it to be quiet. noted 📝

⛓️ Chain selection options: ⛓️

  • chain=<chain> — use the chain <chain> (default: main). allowed values: main, test, signet, regtest.
  • signet — use the signet chain. equivalent to chain=signet. note that the network is defined by the signetchallenge parameter. so this one's a vibe but the challenge is the actual boss 🧚
  • signetchallenge — blocks must satisfy the given script to be considered valid (only for signet networks; defaults to the global default signet test network challenge).
  • signetseednode — specify a seed node for the signet network, in the hostname[:port] format, e.g. sig.net:1234 (may be used multiple times to specify multiple seed nodes; defaults to the global default signet test network seed node(s)). yes you can stack them, go off 💜
  • testnet — use the test chain. equivalent to chain=test. the "try it before you commit" chain, love that for us.

🎀 Commands: 🎀

  • create — create new wallet file. baby's first wallet 🍼
  • createfromdump — create new wallet file from dumped records. rebuild her from the receipts.
  • dump — print out all of the wallet keyvalue records. every last one, no gatekeeping 👀
  • generatemnemonic — generate a new mnemonic: <language> <bytes_entropy>. that's the arg shape, keep it cute and keep it exact ✨
  • info — get wallet info. the vibe check of commands, honestly.
  • salvage — attempt to recover private keys from a corrupt wallet.
⚠️ warning bestie: 'salvage' is experimental. it's giving "I'll try my best" and you should treat it exactly like that. don't be weird about your only backup 🙈
