-f [--format]        The output format. Options are 'info', 'json' and   
                     'xml', defaults to 'info'.                          
-h [--help]          Get a description and instructions for this command.

Arguments (positional):

STEALTH_ADDRESS      The stealth payment address. If not specified the   
                     address is read from STDIN.

The stealth address standard is not finalized. The most recent revision aligns the version byte with that of standard payment addresses. Previously stealth addresses used the version 42 for mainnet and 43 for testnet.
