Struct BlockDecoder

pub struct BlockDecoder { /* private fields */ }

Push decoder for bitcoin blocks.

IMPORTANT: you must call finish() after the last byte of the block has been supplied, in order to complete the block validation and ensure that there is no trailing data.

The decoder uses a limited amount of memory by streaming parse results to a listener.

Scripts beyond max_script_size are replaced with the empty script (saves 10 KB of peak memory usage).

The computed transactionm IDs cover the original script.

Implementations

impl BlockDecoder

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new decoder with a max script size of 100 bytes

pub fn new_with_capacity(buffer_capacity: usize, max_script_size: usize) -> Self

Create a new decoder with a specific buffer capacity. must be at least 100 bytes.

pub fn decode_next<L: Listener>( &mut self, data: &[u8], listener: &mut L, ) -> Result<(), Error>

Supply data to the decoder

pub fn finish(self) -> Result<(), Error>

Signal that no more data will be supplied, validate that the block is complete.
