grpcurl: List all methods in a particular service.
$ grpcurl ${grpc-server-com:443} list ${my-custom-server-Service}
try on your machine

This command uses the grpcurl tool to interact with a gRPC server and list the available services provided by a specific server.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. grpcurl: This is the executable command you are running.

  2. ${grpc-server-com:443}: This is a placeholder for the gRPC server address and port. Replace ${grpc-server-com} with the actual server name or IP, and 443 with the appropriate port number.

  3. list: This is a subcommand provided by grpcurl to list the available services. It is used to retrieve the list of services exposed by the server specified in the previous argument.

  4. ${my-custom-server-Service}: Replace ${my-cusom-server-Service} with the name of the specific server service you want to retrieve. This option allows you to list the methods available within that specific service.

By executing this command, you will get a list of available services provided by the specified gRPC server.
