Class Script

java.lang.Object
org.bitcoinj.script.Script

public class Script extends Object

Programs embedded inside transactions that control redemption of payments.

Bitcoin transactions don't specify what they do directly. Instead a small binary stack language is used to define programs that when evaluated return whether the transaction "accepts" or rejects the other transactions connected to it.

In SPV mode, scripts are not run, because that would require all transactions to be available and lightweight clients don't have that data. In full mode, this class is used to run the interpreted language. It also has static methods for building scripts.

    • createMultiSigOutputScript

      public static byte[] createMultiSigOutputScript(int threshold, List<ECKey> pubkeys)

Having incomplete input script allows to pass around partially signed tx. It is expected that this program later on will be updated with proper signatures.

      Exposes the script interpreter. Normally you should not use this directly, instead use TransactionInput.verify(TransactionOutput) or correctlySpends(Transaction, int, TransactionWitness, Coin, Script, Set). This method is useful if you need more precise control or access to the final state of the stack. This interface is very likely to change in future.
      Throws:
      ScriptException
    • correctlySpends

      public void correctlySpends(Transaction txContainingThis, int scriptSigIndex, @Nullable TransactionWitness witness, @Nullable Coin value, Script scriptPubKey, Set<Script.VerifyFlag> verifyFlags) throws ScriptException
      Verifies that this script (interpreted as a scriptSig) correctly spends the given scriptPubKey.
      Parameters:
      txContainingThis - The transaction in which this input scriptSig resides. Accessing txContainingThis from another thread while this method runs results in undefined behavior.
      scriptSigIndex - The index in txContainingThis of the scriptSig (note: NOT the index of the scriptPubKey).
      scriptPubKey - The connected scriptPubKey containing the conditions needed to claim the value.
      witness - Transaction witness belonging to the transaction input containing this script. Needed for segwit.
      value - Value of the output. Needed for segwit scripts.
      verifyFlags - Each flag enables one validation rule.
      Throws:
      ScriptException
    • correctlySpends

      @Deprecated public void correctlySpends(Transaction txContainingThis, long scriptSigIndex, Script scriptPubKey, Set<Script.VerifyFlag> verifyFlags) throws ScriptException
      Verifies that this script (interpreted as a scriptSig) correctly spends the given scriptPubKey.
      Parameters:
      txContainingThis - The transaction in which this input scriptSig resides. Accessing txContainingThis from another thread while this method runs results in undefined behavior.
      scriptSigIndex - The index in txContainingThis of the scriptSig (note: NOT the index of the scriptPubKey).
      scriptPubKey - The connected scriptPubKey containing the conditions needed to claim the value.
      verifyFlags - Each flag enables one validation rule.
