Module locktime

Provides type LockTime that implements the logic around nLockTime/OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY.

There are two types of lock time: lock-by-blockheight and lock-by-blocktime, distinguished by whether LockTime < LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD.

Structs

• ConversionError
  An error that occurs when converting a u32 to a lock time variant.
• Height
  An absolute block height, guaranteed to always contain a valid height value.
• PackedLockTime
  Packed lock time wraps a LockTime consensus value i.e., the raw u32 used by the network.
• Time
  A UNIX timestamp, seconds since epoch, guaranteed to always contain a valid time value.

Enums

• Error
  Catchall type for errors that relate to time locks.
• LockTime
  A lock time value, representing either a block height or a UNIX timestamp (seconds since epoch).
• OperationError
  Errors than occur when operating on lock times.

Constants

• LOCK_TIME_THRESHOLD
  The Threshold for deciding whether a lock time value is a height or a time (see Bitcoin Core).
