For a wallet address, I can get its public key by using "validateaddress" command in the console, is there a command to get the private key? How can I get the private key for an address in my wallet? I know that the client program can sign the message by using the private key, but I don't know if there's a command line function for it. Thanks for the help.


The list of all the API commands is helpful for questions like this.
