NOTE: this utility is intended for use on a local node, and is intended as a development tool. Don't point this at a public endpoint, it generates a significant number of requests, and will flood a remote node. Please be polite :)

TODO: convert this to use P2P instead of polling the API for new blocks.

A simple utility for watching the state of a node. Shows some basic net info, peer info (if the net_api_plugin is enabled), database size (if the db_size_api_plugin is enabled), list of producers, and an event stream.

Default is to connect to http://localhost:8888 to specify a different nodeos server, run with the -u option.

Keys:
    ? or F1 for help screen
    q or CTRL-C to exit
    r or CTRL-L to repaint screen
    d or CTRL-U to clear data

Note: some care has been taken to ensure that the display doesn't get strange artifacts, but sometimes it happens. One thing that seems to help is using a font that handles double-wide characters correctly such as those at https://www.nerdfonts.com/. But, if despite this it still happens, just press "r" to forcefully repaint the grid.
