Multichain sync status

Question

Hi.

What is the best way to get the information if the multichain is still syncing after a join?

So I want to provide a status information if syncing has finished.

 

Thanks,

Alex

There are a couple of things you can look at:

1. Are there blocks listed in the inflight field of getpeerinfo? If so, and the heights are larger than the current blocks count in getinfo, this means new blocks are coming in.
2. Are there more headers than blocks in the output from getblockchaininfo?
