Introduction

Command Line Interface for the Node and the associated Tools

The Command Line Interface of the Node and its associated Tools is described at the following locations:

• Node
• SeedNode
• Keygenerator
• TermUI
• Logviewer

Examples

For example, the following command starts an Observer Node in Shard 0:

./node --rest-api-interface=localhost:8080 \
 --log-save --log-level=*:DEBUG --log-logger-name \
 --destination-shard-as-observer=0 --start-in-epoch\
 --validator-key-pem-file=observer0.pem

While the following starts a Node as a Metachain Observer:

./node --rest-api-interface=localhost:8080 \
 --use-log-view --log-save --log-level=*:DEBUG --log-logger-name \
 --destination-shard-as-observer=metachain --start-in-epoch\
 --validator-key-pem-file=observerMetachain.pem
