Function read_uint

pub fn read_uint(data: &[u8], size: usize) -> Result<usize, Error>

👎Deprecated since 0.30.0: bitcoin integers are signed 32 bits, use read_scriptint

Decodes a script-encoded unsigned integer.

Errors

This function returns an error in these cases:

• data is shorter than size => EarlyEndOfScript
• size is greater than u16::max_value / 8 (8191) => NumericOverflow
• The number being read overflows usize => NumericOverflow

Note that this does not return an error for size between core::size_of::<usize>() and u16::max_value / 8 if there’s no overflow.
