NAME
     bitcoin-wallet - manual page for bitcoin-wallet v31.0.0

SYNOPSIS
     bitcoin-wallet [options] <command>

DESCRIPTION
     Bitcoin Core bitcoin-wallet utility version v31.0.0

     bitcoin-wallet is an offline tool for creating and interacting with Bitcoin
     Core wallet files.

     By default bitcoin-wallet will act on wallets in the default mainnet wallet
     directory in the datadir.

     To  change the target wallet, use the -datadir, -wallet and (test)chain se-
     lection arguments.

OPTIONS
     -datadir=<dir>

	    Specify data directory

     -dumpfile=<file name>

	    When used with 'dump', writes out the records  to  this  file.  When
	    used with 'createfromdump', loads the records into a new wallet.

     -help

	    Print this help message and exit (also -h or -?)

     -version

	    Print version and exit

     -wallet=<wallet-name>

	    Specify wallet name

     Debugging/Testing options:

     -debug=<category>

	    Use  the  chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test,
	    testnet4, signet, regtest

	    network is defined by the -signetchallenge parameter

     -signetchallenge

	    Blocks  must  satisfy  the given script to be considered valid (only
	    for signet networks; defaults to the global default signet test net-
	    work challenge)

	    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 net-
	    work seed node(s))

	    net3 is deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release.  Con-
	    sider moving to testnet4 now by using -testnet4.
