hsd-cli: View a block by height or hash.

hsd-cli

$ hsd-cli block ${height_or_hash}

try on your machine

The command "hsd-cli block ${height_or_hash}" is used to retrieve information about a specific block in the HSD (Handshake Daemon) blockchain.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"hsd-cli": This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with the HSD blockchain.
"block": This is a subcommand used to perform operations related to blocks.
"${height_or_hash}": In this part, you need to replace "${height_or_hash}" with either the block height or block hash you want to retrieve information for.

When you execute this command with either the block height or block hash, it will return various details about the requested block. This information typically includes the block's hash, height, previous block hash, timestamp, nonce, transaction count, and other relevant data.

For example, if you wanted to retrieve information about a block with a specific height, you would replace "${height_or_hash}" with the desired height. Conversely, if you wanted to fetch details about a block using its hash, you would replace "${height_or_hash}" with the actual block hash.

Keep in mind that this command assumes you have the HSD CLI tool installed and properly configured on your system.
