OPTIONS

-?

    This help message

-blocknotify=<cmd>

    Execute command when the best block changes (%s in cmd is replaced by block hash)

-checkblocks=<n>

    How many blocks to check at startup (default: 288, 0 = all)

-checklevel=<n>

    How thorough the block verification of -checkblocks is (0-4, default: 3)

    Specify data directory (this path cannot use '~')

-exportdir=<dir>

    Specify directory to be used when exporting data

-dbcache=<n>

    Set database cache size in megabytes (4 to 65536). Default: adaptive - uses most free RAM to speed up initial block download (far fewer UTXO flushes to disk) and automatically shrinks if other applications need memory, always leaving a reserve free. Setting a fixed value disables adaptive sizing.

-loadblock=<file>

    Imports blocks from external blk000??.dat file on startup

-maxdebugfilesize=<n>

    Set the max size of the debug.log file (default: 15)

-maxorphantx=<n>

-maxreorg=<n>

    Specify the maximum length of a blockchain re-organization

-mempooltxinputlimit=<n>

    [DEPRECATED/IGNORED] Set the maximum number of transparent inputs in a transaction that the mempool will accept (default: 0 = no limit applied)

-txexpirynotify=<cmd>

    Execute command when transaction expires (%s in cmd is replaced by transaction id)

-prune=<n>

    Reduce storage requirements by pruning (deleting) old blocks. This mode disables wallet support and is incompatible with -txindex. Warning: Reverting this setting requires re-downloading the entire blockchain. (default: 0 = disable pruning blocks, >550 = target size in MiB to use for block files)

-reindex

    Rebuild block chain index from current blk000??.dat files on startup
