Re-exports

pub use nets::*;

Modules

builder

Implementations of the TxBuilder for Bitcoin transactions. This builder automatically selects between Legacy and Witness transactions based on its inputs. The user may also specify the desired type using build_legacy or build_witness.

enc

Holds Bitcoin-specific encoding tools. This includes an AddressEncoder that handles bech32 and base58check addresses, as well as newtypes that hold the Bitcoin network prefix information for addresses.

hashes

This module holds MarkedDigest types used by Bitcoin transactions. Currently we represent only TXIDs and WTXIDs. In the future we may also represent sighash digests this way.

nets

The bitcoin::nets module cotains Bitcoin network definitions. These are the main interface for accessing the library.

prelude

Common re-exports

types

Holds Bitcoin specific types, including scripts, witnesses, inputs, outputs, and transactions. Extends the Transaction trait to maintain a type distinction between Legacy and Witness transactions (and allow conversion from one to the other).
