Kernel library components for validating blocks and maintaining chain state.

Types

Name

Description

BlockManagerOpts

An options struct for BlockManager, more ergonomically referred to as BlockManager::Options due to the using‐declaration in BlockManager.

BlockTreeDB

Access to the block database (blocks/index/)

CBlockFileInfo

On‐disk statistics describing the contents of one block file.

CCoinsStats

Aggregate statistics computed over the UTXO set.

CacheSizes

Byte budgets for the validation caches, derived from a single total.

ChainstateManagerOpts

An options struct for ChainstateManager, more ergonomically referred to as ChainstateManager::Options due to the using‐declaration in ChainstateManager.

ChainstateRole

Identifies which chainstate (active or background) a notification refers to.

Context

Process‐wide context owning the libbitcoin_kernel global state.

Interrupted

Result type for use with std::variant to indicate that an operation should be interrupted.

MemPoolLimits

Options struct containing limit options for a CTxMemPool. Default constructor populates the struct with sane default values which can be modified.

MemPoolOptions

Tunable options controlling memory‐pool acceptance and limits.

Notifications

A base class defining functions for notifying about certain kernel events.

Type Aliases

Name

Description

InterruptResult

Simple result type for functions that need to propagate an interrupt status and don't have other return values.

Enums

Name

Description

CoinStatsHashType

Selects the hashing scheme used to summarize the UTXO set.

Warning

Categories of node warning raised by the validation kernel.

Functions

Name

Description

ApplyCoinHash

Folds a coin into the running MuHash of the UTXO set.

ComputeUTXOStats

Computes aggregate statistics over the UTXO set.

GetBogoSize

Computes the serialization‐agnostic size measure of an output script.

IsInterrupted

Tests whether a variant result holds the Interrupted alternative.

MakeBlockInfo

Builds block metadata from a block index entry.

RemoveCoinHash

Removes a coin from the running MuHash of the UTXO set.

SanityChecks

Ensure a usable environment with all necessary library support.

operator<<

Writes a human‐readable form of a chainstate role to a stream.

Variables

Name

Description

DEFAULT_XOR_BLOCKSDIR

Default for whether block files are obfuscated (XOR‐ed) on disk.
