William Banfield bc2b529b95 inspect: add inspect mode for debugging crashed tendermint node (#6785 ) EDIT: Updated, see [comment below]( https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/6785#issuecomment-897793175) This change adds a sketch of the `Debug` mode. This change adds a `Debug` struct to the node package. This `Debug` struct is intended to be created and started by a command in the `cmd` directory. The `Debug` struct runs the RPC server on the data directories: both the state store and the block store. This change required a good deal of refactoring. Namely, a new `rpc.go` file was added to the `node` package. This file encapsulates functions for starting RPC servers used by nodes. A potential additional change is to further factor this code into shared code _in_ the `rpc` package. Minor API tweaks were also made that seemed appropriate such as the mechanism for fetching routes from the `rpc/core` package. Additional work is required to register the `Debug` service as a command in the `cmd` directory but I am looking for feedback on if this direction seems appropriate before diving much further. closes: #5908		3 years ago

Tendermint

Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!

Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications, Tendermint serves blockchain applications.

More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines. For more background, see What is Tendermint?.

To get started quickly with an example application, see the quick start guide.

To learn about application development on Tendermint, see the Application Blockchain Interface.

For more details on using Tendermint, see the respective documentation for Tendermint Core, benchmarking and monitoring, and network deployments.
