unlock

Decrypts the on-disk wallet seed and starts the wallet subsystem, making the wallet RPCs usable. Like create, the password is never accepted on the command line: it is read from stdin, the WAVED_WALLET_PASSWORD environment variable, or --wallet_password_file.

Terminal
echo -n 'hunter2hunter2' | wavecli unlock

Flags

Flag Default Description
--wallet_password_file (none) Path to a file containing the wallet password.

Example

Terminal
echo -n 'hunter2hunter2' | wavecli --no-tls unlock
{
  "identity_pubkey": "02a1b2c3d4e5f60718293a4b5c6d7e8f90a1b2c3d4e5f60718293a4b5c6d7e8f90"
}

A wrong password exits with code 3 (auth failure) and a WALLET_LOCKED error envelope on stderr.

Underlying RPC

Calls WalletService.Unlock.
