wallet-cli tx approvals

Show collected signatures on a multi-sig transaction. TRON only.

Synopsis

wallet-cli tx approvals (--hex <hex> | --file <path>) [options]

Description

A read-only view of a transaction hex's co-signing progress: the permission group and threshold it uses, the accumulated weight so far, the list of signers who have already approved, how much weight is still missing, and the expiration. It's the "look before you sign" companion to tx sign — same information, no signature, no account or password needed.

TRON only — multi-signature approval is a TRON permission-model concept, so on an EVM network the command fails with family_mismatch before any node call.

It needs a node (--network), because approval state — which signatures count, and for how much weight — is the chain's answer, not something derivable from the artifact alone. Files are read with a size cap of just over 1 MiB and must be regular files, not symlinks.

An expired transaction is still queryable (no error): the text Expires line shows the time followed by [EXPIRED], with a ! hint to re-initiate, and the JSON expired field is true.

Options

Option Description
--hex <hex> Required (one of). protocol.Transaction hex string
--file <path> Required (one of). File containing the transaction hex

Plus the global options (--network).
