pub struct PrivateKey {
    pub compressed: bool,
    pub network: Network,
    pub key: SecretKey,
}

Fields

compressed: bool

Whether this private key should be serialized as compressed

network: Network

The network on which this key should be used

key: SecretKey

The actual ECDSA key

Implementations

impl PrivateKey

pub fn public_key<C: Signing>(&self, secp: &Secp256k1<C>) -> PublicKey

pub fn fmt_wif(&self, fmt: &mut dyn Write) -> Result

Format the private key to WIF format.

pub fn to_wif(&self) -> String

Get WIF encoding of this private key.

pub fn from_wif(wif: &str) -> Result<PrivateKey, Error>

Parse WIF encoded private key.
