Struct bitcoin::util::merkleblock::MerkleBlock

pub struct MerkleBlock {
    pub header: BlockHeader,
    pub txn: PartialMerkleTree,
}

Data structure that represents a block header paired to a partial merkle tree.

NOTE: This assumes that the given Block has at least 1 transaction. If the Block has 0 txs, it will hit an assertion.

Fields

header: BlockHeader

The block header

txn: PartialMerkleTree

Transactions making up a partial merkle tree

Methods

impl MerkleBlock

pub fn from_block(block: &Block, match_txids: &HashSet<Txid>) -> Self

Create a MerkleBlock from a block, that should contain proofs for the txids.

The block is a full block containing the header and transactions and match_txids is a set containing the transaction ids that should be included in the partial merkle tree.

Examples

use bitcoin::hash_types::Txid;
use bitcoin::hashes::hex::FromHex;
use bitcoin::{Block, MerkleBlock};

// Block 80000

pub fn from_header_txids(
    header: &BlockHeader,
    block_txids: &[Txid],
    match_txids: &HashSet<Txid>
) -> Self

Create a MerkleBlock from the block's header and txids, that should contain proofs for match_txids.

The header is the block header, block_txids is the full list of txids included in the block and match_txids is a set containing the transaction ids that should be included in the partial merkle tree.

pub fn extract_matches(
    &self,
    matches: &mut Vec<Txid>,
    indexes: &mut Vec<u32>
) -> Result<(), MerkleBlockError>

Extract the matching txid's represented by this partial merkle tree and their respective indices within the partial tree. returns Ok(()) on success, or error in case of failure
