Command-line Options

Last edited on February 16, 2026

Go Centurion is primarily controlled using the command line. Go Centurion is started using the geth command. It is stopped by pressing ctrl-c.

You can configure Go Centurion using command-line options (a.k.a. flags). Go Centurion also has sub-commands, which can be used to invoke functionality such as the console or blockchain import/export.

The command-line help listing is reproduced below for your convenience. The same information can be obtained at any time from your own Go Centurion instance by running:

geth --help
