In order to avoid disk thrashing for Accounts and HasAccount, address->key file mappings are now cached in memory. This makes it no longer necessary to keep the key address in the file name. The address of each key is derived from file content instead. There are minor user-visible changes: - "geth account list" now reports key file paths alongside the address. - If multiple keys are present for an address, unlocking by address is not possible. Users are directed to remove the duplicate files instead. Unlocking by index is still possible. - Key files are overwritten written in place when updating the password. |

----------|---------|-----|-----|---------|------ develop | | | | | master | | | | |
Automated development builds
The following builds are build automatically by our build servers after each push to the develop branch.
Building the source
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the Installation Instructions on the wiki.
Building geth requires both a Go and a C compiler. You can install them using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run
make geth
Executables
Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
the cmd
directory:
Command | |
---|---|
geth |
Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client) |
bootnode |
runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol |
ethtest |
test tool which runs with the tests suite: /path/to/test.json > ethtest --test BlockTests --stdin . |
evm |
is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: evm -code 60ff60ff -gas 10000 -price 0 -dump . See -h for a detailed description. |
disasm |
disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" |
rlpdump |
prints RLP structures |
Command line options
geth
can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
To get the options available:
geth help
