```shell ```shell
eth.accounts eth.accounts
``` ```
<!-- TODO: Read more -->
## Next steps
<!-- I like the idea of having a Getting started section. You may want to describe a few ways to get your feet wet with Geth (fast sync with a test net, dev mode, start a private network). -->
### Fast sync a test network
<!-- TODO: What happens if you don't specify? -->
You learned about the `--syncmode` argument above, but you can also specify the network to sync with, by adding it as an argument. For example to fast sync with the Rinkeby test network:
```shell
geth --syncmode "fast" --rinkeby
```
To check the status of the sync, open another terminal, attach to the geth process, and open a console with the command below:
<!-- TODO: Figuring out what to attach to seems difficult -->
```shell
geth attach ipc:{FILL_THIS}
```
Then at the `>` prompt, run the command below to the current state of the sync operation:
```shell
eth.syncing
```
