Module bitcoin::absolute

Provides type LockTime that implements the logic around nLockTime/OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY.

There are two types of lock time: lock-by-blockheight and lock-by-blocktime, distinguished by whether LockTime < LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD.

Structs

• ConversionError
  An error that occurs when converting a u32 to a lock time variant.
• Height
  An absolute block height, guaranteed to always contain a valid height value.
• ParseHeightError
  Error returned when parsing block height fails.
• ParseTimeError
  Error returned when parsing block time fails.
• Time
  A UNIX timestamp, seconds since epoch, guaranteed to always contain a valid time value.

Enums

• LockTime
  An absolute lock time value, representing either a block height or a UNIX timestamp (seconds since epoch).

Constants

• LOCK_TIME_THRESHOLD
  The Threshold for deciding whether a lock time value is a height or a time (see Bitcoin Core).
