So first of all there is a helper option that shows you almost all the available commands you can use. But first a option starts mostly with - or -- and is used to input values into the command. The helper option is -h or --help , you can use both to achieve the same result. By using it on the chives command inside of the CLI chives -h , it will show you all the main commands you can use and that were inherited from the Chia version that the current Chives client is based on. So now that you see the main commands and the descriptions you can get even more info about specific command of your interest. By doing chives keys -h will now show you all available options/commands for the keys command. And so on... to check what options are available to you to make a transaction just try chives wallet send -h and you will see that the only required options are -m and -t . So the example would be: chives wallet send -m 1000 -t xcc1fde372ze238... Any command displayed by the -h option has to be added to it by the developer. That's why there could be some commands missing and the only way to find that out is to go to the project files. Inside the chives-blockchain/chives/cmds you will find multiple .py files, that's where the commands are defined.

How to use CLI (Command-line interface) and find out the right commands/options?
