Struct CompactTarget

pub struct CompactTarget(/* private fields */);

Encoding of 256-bit target as 32-bit float.

This is used to encode a target into the block header. Satoshi made this part of consensus code in the original version of Bitcoin, likely copying an idea from OpenSSL.

OpenSSL’s bignum (BN) type has an encoding, which is even called “compact” as in bitcoin, which is exactly this format.

Implementations

impl CompactTarget

pub fn from_consensus(bits: u32) -> CompactTarget

impl Default for CompactTarget

fn default() -> CompactTarget

Returns the “default value” for a type.

fn deserialize<__D>( __deserializer: __D, ) -> Result<CompactTarget, <__D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Encodable for CompactTarget

fn consensus_encode<W>(&self, w: &mut W) -> Result<usize, Error>

where W: Write + ?Sized,

Encodes an object with a well-defined format.

impl From<CompactTarget> for Target

fn from(c: CompactTarget) -> Target

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl FromHexStr for CompactTarget

type Error = ParseIntError

An error occurred while parsing the hex string.

fn from_hex_str_no_prefix<S>( s: S, ) -> Result<CompactTarget, <CompactTarget as FromHexStr>::Error>

where S: AsRef<str> + Into<String>,

Parses provided string as hex without requiring 0x prefix.

fn from_hex_str<S>(s: S) -> Result<Self, FromHexError<Self::Error>>

where S: AsRef<str> + Into<String>,

Parses provided string as hex requiring 0x prefix.

impl Hash for CompactTarget

fn hash<__H>(&self, state: &mut __H)

where __H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for CompactTarget

fn cmp(&self, other: &CompactTarget) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

impl PartialEq for CompactTarget

fn eq(&self, other: &CompactTarget) -> 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.
