Package wire implements the bitcoin wire protocol. A comprehensive suite of tests with 100% test coverage is provided to ensure proper functionality.

There is an associated blog post about the release of this package here.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to interface with bitcoin peers at the wire protocol level.

Installation and Updating

$ go get -u github.com/btcsuite/btcd/wire

Bitcoin Message Overview

The bitcoin protocol consists of exchanging messages between peers. Each message is preceded by a header which identifies information about it such as which bitcoin network it is a part of, its type, how big it is, and a checksum to verify validity. All encoding and decoding of message headers is handled by this package.

To accomplish this, there is a generic interface for bitcoin messages named Message which allows messages of any type to be read, written, or passed around through channels, functions, etc. In addition, concrete implementations of most of the currently supported bitcoin messages are provided. For these supported messages, all of the details of marshalling and unmarshalling to and from the wire using bitcoin encoding are handled so the caller doesn't have to concern themselves with the specifics.

Reading Messages Example

In order to unmarshal bitcoin messages from the wire, use the ReadMessage function. It accepts any io.Reader, but typically this will be a net.Conn to a remote node running a bitcoin peer. Example syntax is:

	// Use the most recent protocol version supported by the package and the
	// main bitcoin network.
	pver := wire.ProtocolVersion
	btcnet := wire.MainNet

	// Reads and validates the next bitcoin message from conn using the
	// protocol version pver and the bitcoin network btcnet.  The returns
	// are a wire.Message, a []byte which contains the unmarshalled
	// raw payload, and a possible error.
	msg, rawPayload, err := wire.ReadMessage(conn, pver, btcnet)
	if err != nil {
		// Log and handle the error
	}

See the package documentation for details on determining the message type.

Writing Messages Example

In order to marshal bitcoin messages to the wire, use the WriteMessage function. It accepts any io.Writer, but typically this will be a net.Conn to a remote node running a bitcoin peer. Example syntax to request addresses from a remote peer is:

	// Use the most recent protocol version supported by the package and the
	// main bitcoin network.
	pver := wire.ProtocolVersion
	btcnet := wire.MainNet

	// Create a new getaddr bitcoin message.
	msg := wire.NewMsgGetAddr()

	// Writes a bitcoin message msg to conn using the protocol version
	// pver, and the bitcoin network btcnet.  The return is a possible
	// error.
	err := wire.WriteMessage(conn, msg, pver, btcnet)
	if err != nil {
		// Log and handle the error
	}

Overview

Package wire implements the bitcoin wire protocol.

For the complete details of the bitcoin protocol, see the official wiki entry at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification. The following only serves as a quick overview to provide information on how to use the package.

At a high level, this package provides support for marshalling and unmarshalling supported bitcoin messages to and from the wire. This package does not deal with the specifics of message handling such as what to do when a message is received. This provides the caller with a high level of flexibility.

Bitcoin Message Overview

The bitcoin protocol consists of exchanging messages between peers. Each message is preceded by a header which identifies information about it such as which bitcoin network it is a part of, its type, how big it is, and a checksum to verify validity. All encoding and decoding of message headers is handled by this package.

To accomplish this, there is a generic interface for bitcoin messages named Message which allows messages of any type to be read, written, or passed around through channels, functions, etc. In addition, concrete implementations of most of the currently supported bitcoin messages are provided. For these supported messages, all of the details of marshalling and unmarshalling to and from the wire using bitcoin encoding are handled so the caller doesn't have to concern themselves with the specifics.

Message Interaction

The following provides a quick summary of how the bitcoin messages are intended to interact with one another. As stated above, these interactions are not directly handled by this package. For more in-depth details about the appropriate interactions, see the official bitcoin protocol wiki entry at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification.

The initial handshake consists of two peers sending each other a version message (MsgVersion) followed by responding with a verack message (MsgVerAck). Both peers use the information in the version message (MsgVersion) to negotiate things such as protocol version and supported services with each other. Once the initial handshake is complete, the following chart indicates message interactions in no particular order. 

Peer A Sends                          Peer B Responds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
getaddr message (MsgGetAddr)          addr message (MsgAddr)
getblocks message (MsgGetBlocks)      inv message (MsgInv)
inv message (MsgInv)                  getdata message (MsgGetData)
getdata message (MsgGetData)          block message (MsgBlock) -or-
                                      tx message (MsgTx) -or-
                                      notfound message (MsgNotFound)
getheaders message (MsgGetHeaders)    headers message (MsgHeaders)
ping message (MsgPing)                pong message (MsgHeaders)* -or-
                                      (none -- Ability to send message is enough)

NOTES:
* The pong message was not added until later protocol versions as defined
  in BIP0031.  The BIP0031Version constant can be used to detect a recent
  enough protocol version for this purpose (version > BIP0031Version).

Common Parameters

There are several common parameters that arise when using this package to read and write bitcoin messages. The following sections provide a quick overview of these parameters so the next sections can build on them.

Protocol Version

The protocol version should be negotiated with the remote peer at a higher level than this package via the version (MsgVersion) message exchange, however, this package provides the wire.ProtocolVersion constant which indicates the latest protocol version this package supports and is typically the value to use for all outbound connections before a potentially lower protocol version is negotiated.

Bitcoin Network

The bitcoin network is a magic number which is used to identify the start of a message and which bitcoin network the message applies to. This package provides the following constants: 

wire.MainNet
wire.TestNet  (Regression test network)
wire.TestNet3 (Test network version 3)
wire.SimNet   (Simulation test network)

Determining Message Type

As discussed in the bitcoin message overview section, this package reads and writes bitcoin messages using a generic interface named Message. In order to determine the actual concrete type of the message, use a type switch or type assertion. An example of a type switch follows: 

// Assumes msg is already a valid concrete message such as one created
// via NewMsgVersion or read via ReadMessage.
switch msg := msg.(type) {
case *wire.MsgVersion:
	// The message is a pointer to a MsgVersion struct.
	fmt.Printf("Protocol version: %v", msg.ProtocolVersion)
case *wire.MsgBlock:
	// The message is a pointer to a MsgBlock struct.
	fmt.Printf("Number of tx in block: %v", msg.Header.TxnCount)
}

Reading Messages

In order to unmarshall bitcoin messages from the wire, use the ReadMessage function. It accepts any io.Reader, but typically this will be a net.Conn to a remote node running a bitcoin peer. Example syntax is: 

// Reads and validates the next bitcoin message from conn using the
// protocol version pver and the bitcoin network btcnet.  The returns
// are a wire.Message, a []byte which contains the unmarshalled
// raw payload, and a possible error.
msg, rawPayload, err := wire.ReadMessage(conn, pver, btcnet)
if err != nil {
	// Log and handle the error
}

Writing Messages

In order to marshall bitcoin messages to the wire, use the WriteMessage function. It accepts any io.Writer, but typically this will be a net.Conn to a remote node running a bitcoin peer. Example syntax to request addresses from a remote peer is: 

// Create a new getaddr bitcoin message.
msg := wire.NewMsgGetAddr()

// Writes a bitcoin message msg to conn using the protocol version
// pver, and the bitcoin network btcnet.  The return is a possible
// error.
err := wire.WriteMessage(conn, msg, pver, btcnet)
if err != nil {
	// Log and handle the error
}

Errors

Errors returned by this package are either the raw errors provided by underlying calls to read/write from streams such as io.EOF, io.ErrUnexpectedEOF, and io.ErrShortWrite, or of type wire.MessageError. This allows the caller to differentiate between general IO errors and malformed messages through type assertions.

Functions

func RandomUint64 

func RandomUint64() (uint64, error)

RandomUint64 returns a cryptographically random uint64 value.

func ReadTxOut 

func ReadTxOut(r io.Reader, pver uint32, version int32, to *TxOut) error

ReadTxOut reads the next sequence of bytes from r as a transaction output (TxOut).

func ReadVarBytes 

func ReadVarBytes(r io.Reader, pver uint32, maxAllowed uint32,
	fieldName string) ([]byte, error)

ReadVarBytes reads a variable length byte array. A byte array is encoded as a varInt containing the length of the array followed by the bytes themselves. An error is returned if the length is greater than the passed maxAllowed parameter which helps protect against memory exhaustion attacks and forced panics through malformed messages. The fieldName parameter is only used for the error message so it provides more context in the error.

func ReadVarInt 

func ReadVarInt(r io.Reader, pver uint32) (uint64, error)

ReadVarInt reads a variable length integer from r and returns it as a uint64.

func ReadVarString 

func ReadVarString(r io.Reader, pver uint32) (string, error)

ReadVarString reads a variable length string from r and returns it as a Go string. A variable length string is encoded as a variable length integer containing the length of the string followed by the bytes that represent the string itself. An error is returned if the length is greater than the maximum block payload size since it helps protect against memory exhaustion attacks and forced panics through malformed messages.

func VarIntSerializeSize 

func VarIntSerializeSize(val uint64) int

VarIntSerializeSize returns the number of bytes it would take to serialize val as a variable length integer.

func WriteMessage 

func WriteMessage(w io.Writer, msg Message, pver uint32, btcnet BitcoinNet) error

WriteMessage writes a bitcoin Message to w including the necessary header information. This function is the same as WriteMessageN except it doesn't doesn't return the number of bytes written. This function is mainly provided for backwards compatibility with the original API, but it's also useful for callers that don't care about byte counts.

func WriteMessageN 

func WriteMessageN(w io.Writer, msg Message, pver uint32, btcnet BitcoinNet) (int, error)

WriteMessageN writes a bitcoin Message to w including the necessary header information and returns the number of bytes written. This function is the same as WriteMessage except it also returns the number of bytes written.

func WriteMessageWithEncodingN 

func WriteMessageWithEncodingN(w io.Writer, msg Message, pver uint32,
	btcnet BitcoinNet, encoding MessageEncoding) (int, error)

WriteMessageWithEncodingN writes a bitcoin Message to w including the necessary header information and returns the number of bytes written. This function is the same as WriteMessageN except it also allows the caller to specify the message encoding format to be used when serializing wire messages.

func WriteOutPoint 

func WriteOutPoint(w io.Writer, pver uint32, version int32, op *OutPoint) error

WriteOutPoint encodes op to the bitcoin protocol encoding for an OutPoint to w.

func WriteTxOut 

func WriteTxOut(w io.Writer, pver uint32, version int32, to *TxOut) error

WriteTxOut encodes to into the bitcoin protocol encoding for a transaction output (TxOut) to w.

NOTE: This function is exported in order to allow txscript to compute the new sighashes for witness transactions (BIP0143).

func WriteVarBytes 

func WriteVarBytes(w io.Writer, pver uint32, bytes []byte) error

WriteVarBytes serializes a variable length byte array to w as a varInt containing the number of bytes, followed by the bytes themselves.

func WriteVarInt 

func WriteVarInt(w io.Writer, pver uint32, val uint64) error

WriteVarInt serializes val to w using a variable number of bytes depending on its value.

func WriteVarString 

func WriteVarString(w io.Writer, pver uint32, str string) error

WriteVarString serializes str to w as a variable length integer containing the length of the string followed by the bytes that represent the string itself.

func (*MsgTx) BtcDecode 

func (msg *MsgTx) BtcDecode(r io.Reader, pver uint32, enc MessageEncoding) error

BtcDecode decodes r using the bitcoin protocol encoding into the receiver. This is part of the Message interface implementation. See Deserialize for decoding transactions stored to disk, such as in a database, as opposed to decoding transactions from the wire.

func (*MsgTx) BtcEncode 

func (msg *MsgTx) BtcEncode(w io.Writer, pver uint32, enc MessageEncoding) error

BtcEncode encodes the receiver to w using the bitcoin protocol encoding. This is part of the Message interface implementation. See Serialize for encoding transactions to be stored to disk, such as in a database, as opposed to encoding transactions for the wire.

func (*MsgTx) Deserialize 

func (msg *MsgTx) Deserialize(r io.Reader) error

Deserialize decodes a transaction from r into the receiver using a format that is suitable for long-term storage such as a database while respecting the Version field in the transaction. This function differs from BtcDecode in that BtcDecode decodes from the bitcoin wire protocol as it was sent across the network. The wire encoding can technically differ depending on the protocol version and doesn't even really need to match the format of a stored transaction at all. As of the time this comment was written, the encoded transaction is the same in both instances, but there is a distinct difference and separating the two allows the API to be flexible enough to deal with changes.

func (*MsgTx) DeserializeNoWitness 

func (msg *MsgTx) DeserializeNoWitness(r io.Reader) error

func (*MsgTx) Serialize 

func (msg *MsgTx) Serialize(w io.Writer) error

Serialize encodes the transaction to w using a format that suitable for long-term storage such as a database while respecting the Version field in the transaction. This function differs from BtcEncode in that BtcEncode encodes the transaction to the bitcoin wire protocol in order to be sent across the network. The wire encoding can technically differ depending on the protocol version and doesn't even really need to match the format of a stored transaction at all. As of the time this comment was written, the encoded transaction is the same in both instances, but there is a distinct difference and separating the two allows the API to be flexible enough to deal with changes.

func (*MsgTx) SerializeNoWitness 

func (msg *MsgTx) SerializeNoWitness(w io.Writer) error

}

MsgVersion implements the Message interface and represents a bitcoin version message. It is used for a peer to advertise itself as soon as an outbound connection is made. The remote peer then uses this information along with its own to negotiate. The remote peer must then respond with a version message of its own containing the negotiated values followed by a verack message (MsgVerAck). This exchange must take place before any further communication is allowed to proceed.
