+/**
+ * Fork choice checker
+ *
+ * A gRPC client that polls beacon node at every slot to log or compare nodes current head.
+ *
+ * Example: 2 beacon nodes with 2 gRPC end points, 127.0.0.1:4000 and 127.0.0.1:4001
+ * For logging heads: forkchecker --endpoint 127.0.0.1:4000 --endpoint 127.0.0.1:4001
+ * For comparing heads: forkchecker --endpoint 127.0.0.1:4000 --endpoint 127.0.0.1:4001 --compare
