Crate lightning_block_sync[−][src]
Expand description
A lightweight client for keeping in sync with chain activity.
Defines an SpvClient utility for polling one or more block sources for the best chain tip.
It is used to notify listeners of blocks connected or disconnected since the last poll. Useful
for keeping a Lightning node in sync with the chain.
Defines a BlockSource trait, which is an asynchronous interface for retrieving block headers
and data.
Enabling feature rest-client or rpc-client allows configuring the client to fetch blocks
using Bitcoin Core’s REST or RPC interface, respectively.
Both features support either blocking I/O using std::net::TcpStream or, with feature tokio,
non-blocking I/O using tokio::net::TcpStream from inside a Tokio runtime.
Modules
Utilities to assist in the initial sync required to initialize or reload Rust-Lightning objects from disk.
Adapters that make one or more BlockSources simpler to poll for new chain tip transitions.
Structs
A block header and some associated data. This information should be available from most block sources (and, notably, is available in Bitcoin Core’s RPC and REST interfaces).
Error type for BlockSource requests.
Notifies listeners of blocks that have been connected or disconnected from the chain.
A lightweight client for keeping a listener in sync with the chain, allowing for Simplified Payment Verification (SPV).
Enums
The kind of BlockSourceError, either persistent or transient.
Traits
Abstract type for retrieving block headers and data.
The Cache trait defines behavior for managing a block header cache, where block headers are
keyed by block hash.
Type Definitions
Result type for asynchronous BlockSource requests.
Result type for BlockSource requests.
Unbounded cache of block headers keyed by block hash.
