Functions

func Block

func Block(b *bc.UnsignedBlock, prev *bc.BlockHeader) error

Block validates a block and the transactions within. It does not check the predicate; for that, see ValidateBlockSig.

func BlockOnly

func BlockOnly(b *bc.UnsignedBlock) error

BlockOnly performs those parts of block validation that depend only on the block and not on the previous block header. TODO(eric): consider another name

func BlockPrev

func BlockPrev(b *bc.UnsignedBlock, prev *bc.BlockHeader) error

BlockPrev performs those parts of block validation that require the previous block's header.

func BlockSig

func BlockSig(b *bc.Block, predicate *bc.Predicate) error

BlockSig checks the predicate against b.
