Developer Guide - Daemon RPC - Full Update

Status

Reviewed

Description

This PR solves #709 (closed) Actually, the Daemon RPC Developer Guide is outdated. I'm trying to add everything that is actually missing:

Review each call
Add missing calls
Add new inputs/outputs
Add descriptions
Update examples

Working process

Here is my process for doing this:

Check the RPC calls (JSON first) from the Core RPC Server file.
For each RPC call, look it up in the Command Definition file.
Add missing information to the Developer Guide:
1. For a new RPC Call, add it in the Guide, at the same position it is in the list from Core RPC Server file.
2. For an existing Call:
  1. Get the new RPC output example
  2. Add the new inputs/outputs in the same order to the list of outputs
  3. Describe those new inputs/outputs and ammend the existing if it makes sense
Normalize the call name to use the underscored version
Add an Alias info to display the other name
Update the diary below accordingly
