The default options are sane for most users. This means btcd will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it. The following section provides a usage overview which enumerates the flags. An interesting point to note is that the long form of all of these options (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when btcd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.btcd/btcd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\btcd\btcd.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag, as shown below, can be used to override this location. Usage: btcd [OPTIONS] The flags are: -h, --help Show this help message -V, --version Display version information and exit -C, --configfile= Path to configuration file -b, --datadir= Directory to store data -a, --addpeer= Add a peer to connect with at startup --connect= Connect only to the specified peers at startup --nolisten Disable listening for incoming connections -- NOTE: Listening is automatically disabled if the --connect or --proxy options are used without also specifying listen interfaces via --listen --listen= Add an interface/port to listen for connections (default all interfaces port: 8333, testnet: 18333) --maxpeers= Max number of inbound and outbound peers --banduration= How long to ban misbehaving peers. Valid time units are {s, m, h}. Minimum 1 second -u, --rpcuser= Username for RPC connections -P, --rpcpass= Password for RPC connections --rpclisten= Add an interface/port to listen for RPC connections (default localhost port: 8334, testnet: 18334) --rpccert= File containing the certificate file --rpckey= File containing the certificate key --norpc Disable built-in RPC server -- NOTE: The RPC server is disabled by default if no rpcuser/rpcpass is specified --nodnsseed Disable DNS seeding for peers --proxy= Connect via SOCKS5 proxy (eg. 127.0.0.1:9050) --proxyuser= Username for proxy server --proxypass= Password for proxy server --tor Specifies the proxy server used is a Tor node --testnet Use the test network --regtest Use the regression test network --nocheckpoints Disable built-in checkpoints. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing. --dbtype= Database backend to use for the Block Chain --profile= Enable HTTP profiling on given port -- NOTE port must be between 1024 and 65536 --cpuprofile= Write CPU profile to the specified file -d, --debuglevel: Logging level for all subsystems {trace, debug, info, warn, error, critical} -- You may also specify =,=,... to set the log level for individual subsystems -- Use show to list available subsystems */ package main
