<p>primecoind is a fork of bitcoind (although it might be via litecoind) and the commands for most of these coin daemons is the same. primecoind has a couple of options specifically for the generation of coins, which isn't really supported in most other coin daemons.</p>

<p><code>bitcoind help</code> lists the RPC commands. <code>listaccounts</code> is a RPC command. <code>bitcoind --help</code> lists the commandline options to the program itself.</p>

<p>EDIT:
You can also use <code>bitcoind help [RPC command]</code> for a brief description.</p>

<p>I just installed bitcoind and primecoind on my ubuntu server. I was wondering where can i get all the command options for these daemons. The --help list does not display everything on primecoind as i dont even see the option "listaccounts" there. How else can i get a list of these options? </p>

`bitcoind help` lists the RPC commands. `listaccounts` is a RPC command. `bitcoind --help` lists the commandline options to the program itself.

EDIT:
You can also use `bitcoind help [RPC command]` for a brief description.
