+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Bitcoin Core RPC client version v28.0.0rc1
+.SH OPTIONS
+.HP
+\-?
+.IP
+Print this help message and exit
+.HP
+\fB\-addrinfo\fR
+.IP
+Get the number of addresses known to the node, per network and total,
+after filtering for quality and recency. The total number of
+addresses known to the node may be higher.
+.HP
+\fB\-color=\fR<when>
+.IP
+Color setting for CLI output (default: auto). Valid values: always, auto
+(add color codes when standard output is connected to a terminal
+and OS is not WIN32), never.
+.HP
+\fB\-conf=\fR<file>
+.IP
+Specify configuration file. Relative paths will be prefixed by datadir
+location. (default: bitcoin.conf)
+.HP
+\fB\-datadir=\fR<dir>
+.IP
+Specify data directory
+.HP
+\fB\-generate\fR
+.IP
+Generate blocks, equivalent to RPC getnewaddress followed by RPC
+generatetoaddress. Optional positional integer arguments are
+number of blocks to generate (default: 1) and maximum iterations
+to try (default: 1000000), equivalent to RPC generatetoaddress
+nblocks and maxtries arguments. Example: bitcoin\-cli \fB\-generate\fR 4
+1000
+.HP
+\fB\-getinfo\fR
+.IP
+Get general information from the remote server. Note that unlike
+server\-side RPC calls, the output of \fB\-getinfo\fR is the result of
+multiple non\-atomic requests. Some entries in the output may
+represent results from different states (e.g. wallet balance may
+be as of a different block from the chain state reported)
+.HP
+\fB\-named\fR
+.IP
+Pass named instead of positional arguments (default: false)
+.HP
+\fB\-netinfo\fR
+.IP
+Get network peer connection information from the remote server. An
+optional integer argument from 0 to 4 can be passed for different
+peers listings (default: 0). Pass "help" for detailed help
+documentation.
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcclienttimeout=\fR<n>
+.IP
+Timeout in seconds during HTTP requests, or 0 for no timeout. (default:
+900)
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcconnect=\fR<ip>
+.IP
+Send commands to node running on <ip> (default: 127.0.0.1)
+.HP
+\fB\-rpccookiefile=\fR<loc>
+.IP
+Location of the auth cookie. Relative paths will be prefixed by a
+net\-specific datadir location. (default: data dir)
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcpassword=\fR<pw>
+.IP
+Password for JSON\-RPC connections
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcport=\fR<port>
+.IP
+Connect to JSON\-RPC on <port> (default: 8332, testnet: 18332, testnet4:
+48332, signet: 38332, regtest: 18443)
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcuser=\fR<user>
+.IP
+Username for JSON\-RPC connections
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcwait\fR
+.IP
+Wait for RPC server to start
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcwaittimeout=\fR<n>
+.IP
+Timeout in seconds to wait for the RPC server to start, or 0 for no
+timeout. (default: 0)
+.HP
+\fB\-rpcwallet=\fR<walletname>
+.IP
+Send RPC for non\-default wallet on RPC server (needs to exactly match
+corresponding \fB\-wallet\fR option passed to bitcoind). This changes
+the RPC endpoint used, e.g.
+http://127.0.0.1:8332/wallet/<walletname>
+.HP
+\fB\-stdin\fR
+.IP
+Read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl\-D
+(recommended for sensitive information such as passphrases). When
+combined with \fB\-stdinrpcpass\fR, the first line from standard input
+is used for the RPC password.
+.HP
+\fB\-stdinrpcpass\fR
+.IP
+Read RPC password from standard input as a single line. When combined
+with \fB\-stdin\fR, the first line from standard input is used for the
+RPC password. When combined with \fB\-stdinwalletpassphrase\fR,
+\fB\-stdinrpcpass\fR consumes the first line, and \fB\-stdinwalletpassphrase\fR
+consumes the second.
+.HP
+\fB\-stdinwalletpassphrase\fR
+.IP
+Read wallet passphrase from standard input as a single line. When
+combined with \fB\-stdin\fR, the first line from standard input is used
+for the wallet passphrase.
+.HP
+\fB\-version\fR
+.IP
+Print version and exit
+.PP
+Debugging/Testing options:
+.PP
+Chain selection options:
+.HP
+\fB\-chain=\fR<chain>
+.IP
+Use the chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test,
+testnet4, signet, regtest
+.HP
+\fB\-signet\fR
+.IP
+Use the signet chain. Equivalent to \fB\-chain\fR=\fI\,signet\/\fR. Note that the network
+is defined by the \fB\-signetchallenge\fR parameter
+.HP
+\fB\-signetchallenge\fR
+.IP
+Blocks must satisfy the given script to be considered valid (only for
+signet networks; defaults to the global default signet test
+network challenge)
+.HP
+\fB\-signetseednode\fR
+.IP
+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))
+.HP
+\fB\-testnet\fR
+.IP
+Use the testnet3 chain. Equivalent to \fB\-chain\fR=\fI\,test\/\fR. Support for testnet3
+is deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release.
+Consider moving to testnet4 now by using \fB\-testnet4\fR.
+.HP
+\fB\-testnet4\fR
+.IP
+Use the testnet4 chain. Equivalent to \fB\-chain\fR=\fI\,testnet4\/\fR.
