Struct Privkey

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

A Bitcoin ECDSA private key

Fields

compressed: bool

Whether this private key represents a compressed address

network: Network

The network on which this key should be used

key: SecretKey

The actual ECDSA key

Implementations

impl Privkey

pub fn from_secret_key( key: SecretKey, compressed: bool, network: Network, ) -> Privkey

Creates a Privkey from a raw secp256k1 secret key

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

Computes the public key as supposed to be used with this secret

pub fn to_address<C: Signing>(&self, secp: &Secp256k1<C>) -> Address

Converts a private key to a segwit address

pub fn to_legacy_address<C: Signing>(&self, secp: &Secp256k1<C>) -> Address

Converts a private key to a legacy (non-segwit) address

pub fn secret_key(&self) -> &SecretKey

Accessor for the underlying secp key

pub fn into_secret_key(self) -> SecretKey

Accessor for the underlying secp key that consumes the privkey

pub fn network(&self) -> Network

Accessor for the network type

pub fn is_compressed(&self) -> bool

Accessor for the compressed flag

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<Privkey, Error>

Parse WIF encoded private key.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Privkey

fn clone(&self) -> Privkey

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Privkey

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Privkey

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl FromStr for Privkey

type Err = Error

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Privkey, Error>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.

impl PartialEq for Privkey

fn eq(&self, other: &Privkey) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
