les Namespace

Last edited on August 16, 2023

The les API is for managing LES server settings, including client parameters and payment settings for prioritized clients. It also provides functions to query checkpoint information in both server and client mode.

les_serverInfo

Get information about currently connected and total/individual allowed connection capacity.

Client	Method invocation
Go	les.ServerInfo() map[string]interface{}
Console	les.serverInfo()
RPC	{"method": "les_serverInfo", "params": []}

Example:

> les.serverInfo
{
  freeClientCapacity: 16000,
  maximumCapacity: 1600000,
  minimumCapacity: 16000,
  priorityConnectedCapacity: 180000,
  totalCapacity: 1600000,
  totalConnectedCapacity: 180000
}

les_clientInfo

Get individual client information (connection, balance, pricing) on the specified list of clients or for all connected clients if the ID list is empty.

Client	Method invocation
Go	les.ClientInfo(ids []enode.ID) map[enode.ID]map[string]interface{}
Console	les.clientInfo([id, ...])
RPC	{"method": "les_clientInfo", "params": [[id, ...]]}

Example:

> les.clientInfo([])
{

}

les_priorityClientInfo

Get individual client information on clients with a positive balance in the specified ID range, start included, stop excluded. If stop is zero then results are returned until the last existing balance entry. maxCount limits the number of returned results. If the count limit is reached but there are more IDs in the range then the first missing ID is included in the result with an empty value assigned to it.

Client	Method invocation
Go	les.PriorityClientInfo(start, stop enode.ID, maxCount int) map[enode.ID]map[string]interface{}
Console	les.priorityClientInfo(id, id, number)
RPC	{"method": "les_priorityClientInfo", "params": [id, id, number]}

les_addBalance

Add signed value to the token balance of the specified client and update its meta tag. The balance cannot go below zero or over 2^^63-1. The balance values before and after the update are returned.
