Group 2
The tools in this group have all of the above options, but they query the node, therefore they need the cache.
| Group | Cmd | Enabled | Disabled |
|---|---|---|---|
| accounts | abis | Cache, Decache | |
| chain_data | when | Cache, Decache | |
| chain_state | tokens | Cache, Decache |
Where:
-o, –cache force the results of the query into the cache -D, –decache removes related items from the cache
Group 3
The tools in this group have all of the above options, but because they do query the node, they need the cache. They also produce wei values therefore they have the --ether option as well.
| Group | Cmd | Enabled | Disabled |
|---|---|---|---|
| accounts | export | Cache, Decache, Ether | |
| chain_state | state | Cache, Decache, Ether |
Where:
-H, –ether specify value in ether
Group 4
The tools in this group have all of the above options, but have an additional option, --raw, which shows the underlying data queried directly from the node (or API provider in the case of slurp).
| Group | Cmd | Enabled | Disabled |
|---|---|---|---|
| chain_data | blocks | Cache, Decache, Ether, Raw | |
| chain_data | transactions | Cache, Decache, Ether, Raw | |

| other | slurp | Cache, Decache, Ether, Raw |
Where:
--raw passes the data queried from the node directly to the display
Group 5
This final group of tools do not produce any real data. They are mostly used for configuration and/or to start and stop long-running processes. They allow no additional options over the default, but disable the following options depending on context. The deamon option, which provides all the tools via a local API, disables --chain because one sends chain with the URL.
| Group | Cmd | Enabled | Disabled |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin | daemon | Output, Append, Fmt, NoHeader, File, Chain | |
| admin | scrape | Output, Append, Fmt, NoHeader, File | |
| admin | init | Output, Append, Fmt, NoHeader, File | |
| other | explore | Output, Append, Fmt, NoHeader |
