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

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

Implementations

Create a MerkleBlock from a block, that contains proofs for specific txids.

The block is a full block containing the header and transactions and match_txids is a function that returns true for the 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};

Create a MerkleBlock from a block, that contains proofs for specific txids.

Create a MerkleBlock from the block’s header and txids, that contain proofs for specific txids.

The header is the block header, block_txids is the full list of txids included in the block and match_txids is a function that returns true for the ids that should be included in the partial merkle tree.

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

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
