# CLI

Command-line interface for XCHandles

The [slot-machine](https://github.com/Yakuhito/slot-machine) repository provides a CLI for interacting with XCHandles on-chain. Puzzle source lives in slot-machine; spend construction uses [chia-wallet-sdk](https://github.com/Yakuhito/chia-wallet-sdk) drivers.

### Invocation

```bash
cargo r xchandles <subcommand> [flags]
```

Or, after building: `slot-machine xchandles <subcommand> [flags]`.

### Prerequisites

* **Sage wallet** - the Sage RPC should be running locally.
* **Coinset RPC** - used for chain sync and broadcasting (mainnet or testnet11).
* **Neighbor API** - register, extend, and expire commands need left/right slot neighbors. By default the CLI queries `https://api.xchandles.com`; use `--local` to query a local indexer started with `xchandles listen`.

### Common Flags

| Flag          | Default  | Description                                              |
| ------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--testnet11` | `false`  | Use testnet11 consensus constants and coinset            |
| `--fee`       | `0.0025` | Transaction fee in XCH                                   |
| `--local`     | `false`  | Use local SQLite index (`data.db`) instead of remote API |
| `--log`       | `false`  | Write spend bundle debug output to `sb.debug`            |
| `--debug`     | `false`  | Debug signing mode (prompt for private key)              |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xchandles.com/technical-manual/cli.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
