The `bitcoin` tool just calls other +executables and does not implement any functionality on its own. Specifically +`bitcoin daemon` is a synonym for `bitcoind`, `bitcoin gui` is a synonym for +`bitcoin-qt`, and `bitcoin rpc` is a synonym for `bitcoin-cli -named`. Other +commands and options can be listed with `bitcoin help`. The new tool does not +replace other tools, so all existing commands should continue working and there +are no plans to deprecate them.
