Detailed Description

Interface for parsed descriptor objects.

Descriptors are strings that describe a set of scriptPubKeys, together with all information necessary to solve them. By combining all information into one, they avoid the need to separately import keys and scripts.

Descriptors may be ranged, which occurs when the public keys inside are specified in the form of HD chains (xpubs).

Descriptors always represent public information - public keys and scripts - but in cases where private keys need to be conveyed along with a descriptor, they can be included inside by changing public keys to private keys (WIF format), and changing xpubs by xprvs.

Reference documentation about the descriptor language can be found in doc/descriptors.md.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Expand()

virtual bool Descriptor::Expand	(	int	pos,
		const SigningProvider &	provider,
		std::vector< CScript > &	output_scripts,
		FlatSigningProvider &	out,
		DescriptorCache *	write_cache = `nullptr`
	)		const

pure virtual

Expand a descriptor at a specified position.

Parameters

[in]	pos	The position at which to expand the descriptor. If IsRange() is false, this is ignored.
[in]	provider	The provider to query for private keys in case of hardened derivation.
[out]	output_scripts	The expanded scriptPubKeys.
[out]	out	Scripts and public keys necessary for solving the expanded scriptPubKeys (may be equal to `provider`).
[out]	write_cache	Cache data necessary to evaluate the descriptor at this point without access to private keys.

◆ ExpandFromCache()

virtual bool Descriptor::ExpandFromCache	(	int	pos,
		const DescriptorCache &	read_cache,
		std::vector< CScript > &	output_scripts,
		FlatSigningProvider &	out
	)		const

pure virtual

Expand a descriptor at a specified position using cached expansion data.

Parameters

[in]	pos	The position at which to expand the descriptor. If IsRange() is false, this is ignored.
[in]	read_cache	Cached expansion data.
[out]	output_scripts	The expanded scriptPubKeys.
[out]	out	Scripts and public keys necessary for solving the expanded scriptPubKeys (may be equal to `provider`).

◆ ExpandPrivate()

virtual void Descriptor::ExpandPrivate	(	int	pos,
		const SigningProvider &	provider,
		FlatSigningProvider &	out
	)		const

pure virtual

Expand the private key for a descriptor at a specified position, if possible.

Parameters

[in]	pos	The position at which to expand the descriptor. If IsRange() is false, this is ignored.
[in]	provider	The provider to query for the private keys.
[out]	out	Any private keys available for the specified `pos`.

◆ GetOutputType()

virtual std::optional< OutputType > Descriptor::GetOutputType ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns: The OutputType of the scriptPubKey(s) produced by this descriptor. Or std::nullopt if indeterminate (multiple or none)

◆ IsRange()

virtual bool Descriptor::IsRange ( ) const

pure virtual

Whether the expansion of this descriptor depends on the position.

◆ IsSingleType()

virtual bool Descriptor::IsSingleType ( ) const

pure virtual

Whether this descriptor will return one scriptPubKey or multiple (aka is or is not combo)

◆ IsSolvable()

virtual bool Descriptor::IsSolvable ( ) const

pure virtual

Whether this descriptor has all information about signing ignoring lack of private keys.

This is true for all descriptors except ones that use raw or addr constructions.

◆ ToPrivateString()

virtual bool Descriptor::ToPrivateString	(	const SigningProvider &	provider,
		std::string &	out
	)		const

pure virtual

Convert the descriptor to a private string.

This fails if the provided provider does not have the relevant private keys.

◆ ToString()

virtual std::string Descriptor::ToString ( ) const

pure virtual

Convert the descriptor back to a string, undoing parsing.
