grabABI

grabABI retrieves an ABI file either from a local cache, from the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), or from Etherscan. Once retrieved, grabABI generates the classDefinition files needed by makeClass to generate a parselib for each Ethereum address monitor.

Usage

Usage: grabABI [-c|-g|-d|-e|-n|-o|-r|-v|-h] addr
Purpose: Fetches the ABI for a smart contract. Optionally generates C++ source code representing that ABI.

Where:

Short Cut	Option	Description
	addr	the address(es) of the smart contract(s) to grab
-c	--canonical	convert all types to their canonical represenation and remove all spaces from display
-g	--generate	generate C++ code into the current folder for all functions and events found in the ABI
-d	--data	export the display as data
-e	--encode	generate the encodings for the functions / events in the ABI
-n	--noconst	generate encodings for non-constant functions and events only (always true when generating)
-o	--open	open the ABI file for editing, download if not already present
-r	--raw	force retrieval of ABI from etherscan (ignoring cache)
-v	--verbose	set verbose level. Either -v, --verbose or -v:n where 'n' is level
-h	--help	display this help screen

Notes:

• Use the --silent option, which displays fewer messages, for scripting.

Other Options

All QBlocks command-line tools support the following commands (although in some case, they have no meaning):

Command     |     Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--version   |   display the current version of the tool
--nocolor   |   turn off colored display
--wei       |   specify value in wei (the default)
--ether     |   specify value in ether
--dollars   |   specify value in US dollars
--file:fn   |   specify multiple sets of command line options in a file.

For the --file:fn option, place a series of valid command lines in a file and use the above options. In some cases, this option may significantly improve performance. A semi-colon at the start of a line makes that line a comment.
