Struct Descriptor

Source

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Descriptor { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

A Bitcoin Output Script Descriptor (BOSD).

This is a compact binary format consisting of a type_tag that represents a ScriptPubKey that can be relayed by any node in the Bitcoin network, due to standardness requirements.

See the Bitcoin developer guide on Transactions for more information on standardness.

Implementations§

Source §

impl Descriptor

Source

pub fn to_address(&self, network: Network) -> Result<Address, DescriptorError>

Converts the Descriptor to a Bitcoin Address given a Network.

Source

pub fn to_script(&self) -> ScriptBuf

Converts the Descriptor to a Bitcoin ScriptBuf.

This is a standard relay-safe ScriptPubKey for a Bitcoin output.

Source §

impl Descriptor

Source

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, DescriptorError>

Constructs a new Descriptor from a byte slice.

Users are advised to use the new_* methods whenever possible.

Source

pub fn from_vec(bytes: Vec<u8>) -> Result<Self, DescriptorError>

Constructs a new Descriptor from a byte Vec.

Users are advised to use the new_* methods whenever possible.

Source

pub fn new_op_return(payload: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, DescriptorError>

Constructs a new Descriptor from an OP_RETURN payload.

The payload is expected to be at most 80 bytes.

§Example

let payload = b"hello world";
let desc = Descriptor::new_op_return(payload).expect("valid payload that is at most 80 bytes");

Source

pub fn new_p2pkh(payload: &[u8; 20]) -> Self

Constructs a new Descriptor from a P2PKH payload.

The payload is expected to be a valid 20-byte hash.

§Example

let payload = [0u8; P2PKH_LEN]; // all zeros, don't use in production
let desc = Descriptor::new_p2pkh(&payload);

Source

pub fn new_p2sh(payload: &[u8; 20]) -> Self

Constructs a new Descriptor from a P2SH payload.

The payload is expected to be a valid 20-byte hash.

§Example

let payload = [0u8; P2SH_LEN]; // all zeros, don't use in production
let desc = Descriptor::new_p2sh(&payload);

Source

pub fn new_p2wpkh(payload: &[u8; 20]) -> Self

Constructs a new Descriptor from a P2WPKH payload.

The payload is expected to be a valid 20-byte hash.

§Example

let payload = [0u8; P2WPKH_LEN]; // all zeros, don't use in production
let desc = Descriptor::new_p2wpkh(&payload);

Source

pub fn new_p2wsh(payload: &[u8; 32]) -> Self

Constructs a new Descriptor from a P2WSH payload.

The payload is expected to be a valid 32-byte hash.

§Example

let payload = [0u8; P2WSH_LEN]; // all zeros, don't use in production
let desc = Descriptor::new_p2wsh(&payload);

Source

pub fn new_p2tr(payload: &[u8; 32]) -> Self

Constructs a new Descriptor from a P2TR payload.

The payload is expected to be a valid 32-byte X-only public key.

§Example

let payload = [0u8; P2TR_LEN]; // all zeros, don't use in production
let desc = Descriptor::new_p2tr(&payload);

Source

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Returns the bytes representation of the descriptor.

That is:

1-byte type tag.
arbitrary-sized payload.

Source

pub fn type_tag(&self) -> DescriptorType

Returns the type tag of the descriptor.

Source

pub fn payload(&self) -> &[u8] ⓘ

Returns the payload of the descriptor.

§Warning

It is not advisable to use this method. Instead, try to parse it either as a Bitcoin address by using Descriptor::to_address in the case of an address, or as a Bitcoin script by using Descriptor::to_script in the case of an OP_RETURN payload.
