}Expand description
Trait which applies to hashes of all types.
Required Associated Constants§
Provided Associated Constants§
const DISPLAY_BACKWARD: bool = false
const DISPLAY_BACKWARD: bool = false
Flag indicating whether user-visible serializations of this hash
should be backward. For some reason Satoshi decided this should be
true for Sha256dHash, so here we are.
Required Associated Types§
type Engine: HashEngine
type Engine: HashEngine
A hashing engine which bytes can be serialized into. It is expected
to implement the io::Write trait, and to never return errors under
any conditions.
Required Methods§
fn from_engine(e: Self::Engine) -> Self
fn from_engine(e: Self::Engine) -> Self
Produces a hash from the current state of a given engine.
fn from_slice(sl: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>
fn from_slice(sl: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>
Copies a byte slice into a hash object.
fn into_inner(self) -> Self::Inner
fn into_inner(self) -> Self::Inner
Unwraps the hash and returns the underlying byte array.
fn as_inner(&self) -> &Self::Inner
fn as_inner(&self) -> &Self::Inner
Unwraps the hash and returns a reference to the underlying byte array.
fn from_inner(inner: Self::Inner) -> Self
fn from_inner(inner: Self::Inner) -> Self
Constructs a hash from the underlying byte array.
fn all_zeros() -> Self
fn all_zeros() -> Self
Returns an all zero hash.
An all zeros hash is a made up construct because there is not a known input that can create it, however it is used in various places in Bitcoin e.g., the Bitcoin genesis block’s previous blockhash and the coinbase transaction’s outpoint txid.
