3.5 block

block

Block is Block info + txlist[] type object. This type contain next fields:

{
  header: { 
   version: 'uint32',
   prev_block: 'hash',
   merkle_root: 'hash',
   timestamp: 'uint32',
   bits: 'uint32',
   nonce: 'uint32',
   txn_count: 'var_int',//for header is every time 0
   hash: 'hash'//read only 
  },
  txns: [tx, tx, tx, ....]//one or more tx
}

obj bitPony.block.read(Buffer)

read from Buffer (or hex string) into object with fields above.

Buffer bitPony.block.write(obj blockheaderobj, tx[] txns)

write into Buffer object. Throw error if:

• txns or blockheader is empty
• blockheader error
• tx error

stack

read from stack block value

var script = {
    'keyname': ['block'] 
}

var stack = new bitPony.stackReader(buffer, script)

write into stack header value

var script = [
    ['block', blockheader, txns],
];
var stack = new bitPony.stackWriter(buffer, script);

reader stream

read from stream tx

var stream = new bitPony.reader(b);
var res = stream.header(offset);
//res.result

write to stream header value

var stream = new bitPony.writer(b);
stream.block(blockheader, txns, true);
//or
var res = stream.block(blockheader, txns, txn_count);
//res.result

vector

can not be a vector (for what?)
