|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core currently doesn't have any cohesive or complete
|
|
documentation---but we hope to improve that situation soon. For now, you
|
|
can use the following resources:
|
|
|
|
- Bitcoin Wiki pages: [running Bitcoin][bcc configuration], [data
|
|
directory][bcc data directory], and other articles in the [Bitcoin
|
|
Core documentation category][wiki bitcoin core documentation].
|
|
|
|
<form id="searchform" action="https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php">
|
|
<input id="searchInput" class="glossary_term" type="search" placeholder="Search the Bitcoin Wiki" name="search"></input>
|
|
</form>
|
|
|
|
- The [developer reference][RPCs] provides complete documentation of the
|
|
RPCs that can be used with `bitcoin-cli` or in third-party programs.
|
|
The [REST][rest] interface is also fully documented. Both can be searched
|
|
using the box below:
|
|
|
|
<input id="glossary_term" class="glossary_term" placeholder="Search the RPCs and more">
|
|
|
|
- The [bandwidth sharing guide][] describes installing Bitcoin Core in
|
|
detail as well as opening port 8333 to allow other Bitcoin programs to
|
|
download blocks and transactions from you.
|
|
|
|
