func (*Downloader) Cancel

func (d *Downloader) Cancel()

Cancel aborts all of the operations and waits for all download goroutines to finish before returning.

func (*Downloader) DeliverBodies

func (d *Downloader) DeliverBodies(id string, transactions [][]*types.Transaction, uncles [][]*types.Header) error

DeliverBodies injects a new batch of block bodies received from a remote node.

func (*Downloader) DeliverHeaders

func (*Downloader) DeliverReceipts

func (d *Downloader) DeliverReceipts(id string, receipts [][]*types.Receipt) error

DeliverReceipts injects a new batch of receipts received from a remote node.

func (*Downloader) DeliverSnapPacket

func (d *Downloader) DeliverSnapPacket(peer *snap.Peer, packet snap.Packet) error

DeliverSnapPacket is invoked from a peer's message handler when it transmits a data packet for the local node to consume.

func (*Downloader) Progress

func (d *Downloader) Progress() ethereum.SyncProgress

Progress retrieves the synchronisation boundaries, specifically the origin block where synchronisation started at (may have failed/suspended); the block or header sync is currently at; and the latest known block which the sync targets.

In addition, during the state download phase of fast synchronisation the number of processed and the total number of known states are also returned. Otherwise these are zero.

func (*Downloader) RegisterLightPeer

func (d *Downloader) RegisterLightPeer(id string, version uint, peer LightPeer) error

RegisterLightPeer injects a light client peer, wrapping it so it appears as a regular peer.

func (*Downloader) RegisterPeer

func (d *Downloader) RegisterPeer(id string, version uint, peer Peer) error

RegisterPeer injects a new download peer into the set of block source to be used for fetching hashes and blocks from.

func (*Downloader) Synchronise

func (d *Downloader) Synchronise(id string, head common.Hash, td *big.Int, mode SyncMode) error

Synchronise tries to sync up our local block chain with a remote peer, both adding various sanity checks as well as wrapping it with various log entries.

func (*Downloader) Synchronising

func (d *Downloader) Synchronising() bool

Synchronising returns whether the downloader is currently retrieving blocks.

func (*Downloader) Terminate

func (d *Downloader) Terminate()

Terminate interrupts the downloader, canceling all pending operations. The downloader cannot be reused after calling Terminate.

func (*Downloader) UnregisterPeer

func (d *Downloader) UnregisterPeer(id string) error

UnregisterPeer remove a peer from the known list, preventing any action from the specified peer. An effort is also made to return any pending fetches into the queue.

type FailedEvent

type FailedEvent struct{ Err error }

type LightChain

type LightChain interface {
	// HasHeader verifies a header's presence in the local chain.
	HasHeader(common.Hash, uint64) bool

	// GetHeaderByHash retrieves a header from the local chain.
	GetHeaderByHash(common.Hash) *types.Header

	// CurrentHeader retrieves the head header from the local chain.
	CurrentHeader() *types.Header

	// GetTd returns the total difficulty of a local block.
	GetTd(common.Hash, uint64) *big.Int

	// InsertHeaderChain inserts a batch of headers into the local chain.
	InsertHeaderChain([]*types.Header, int) (int, error)

	// SetHead rewinds the local chain to a new head.
	SetHead(uint64) error
}

LightChain encapsulates functions required to synchronise a light chain.

type LightPeer

type LightPeer interface {
	Head() (common.Hash, *big.Int)
	RequestHeadersByHash(common.Hash, int, int, bool) error
	RequestHeadersByNumber(uint64, int, int, bool) error
}

type PublicDownloaderAPI

type PublicDownloaderAPI struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PublicDownloaderAPI provides an API which gives information about the current synchronisation status. It offers only methods that operates on data that can be available to anyone without security risks.

func NewPublicDownloaderAPI

func NewPublicDownloaderAPI(d *Downloader, m *event.TypeMux) *PublicDownloaderAPI

NewPublicDownloaderAPI create a new PublicDownloaderAPI. The API has an internal event loop that listens for events from the downloader through the global event mux. In case it receives one of these events it broadcasts it to all syncing subscriptions that are installed through the installSyncSubscription channel.

func (*PublicDownloaderAPI) SubscribeSyncStatus

func (api *PublicDownloaderAPI) SubscribeSyncStatus(status chan interface{}) *SyncStatusSubscription

SubscribeSyncStatus creates a subscription that will broadcast new synchronisation updates. The given channel must receive interface values, the result can either

func (*PublicDownloaderAPI) Syncing

func (api *PublicDownloaderAPI) Syncing(ctx context.Context) (*rpc.Subscription, error)

Syncing provides information when this nodes starts synchronising with the Ethereum network and when it's finished.

type StartEvent

type StartEvent struct{}

type SyncMode

type SyncMode uint32

SyncMode represents the synchronisation mode of the downloader. It is a uint32 as it is used with atomic operations.

const (
	FullSync  SyncMode = iota // Synchronise the entire blockchain history from full blocks
	FastSync                  // Quickly download the headers, full sync only at the chain
	SnapSync                  // Download the chain and the state via compact snapshots
	LightSync                 // Download only the headers and terminate afterwards
	// Used by raft:
	BoundedFullSync SyncMode = 100 // Perform a full sync until the requested hash, and no further
)

func (SyncMode) IsValid

func (mode SyncMode) IsValid() bool

func (SyncMode) MarshalText

func (mode SyncMode) MarshalText() ([]byte, error)

func (SyncMode) String

func (mode SyncMode) String() string

String implements the stringer interface.

func (*SyncMode) UnmarshalText

func (mode *SyncMode) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error

type SyncStatusSubscription

type SyncStatusSubscription struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SyncStatusSubscription represents a syncing subscription.

func (*SyncStatusSubscription) Unsubscribe

func (s *SyncStatusSubscription) Unsubscribe()

Unsubscribe uninstalls the subscription from the DownloadAPI event loop. The status channel that was passed to subscribeSyncStatus isn't used anymore after this method returns.

type SyncingResult

type SyncingResult struct {
	Syncing bool                  `json:"syncing"`
	Status  ethereum.SyncProgress `json:"status"`
}

SyncingResult provides information about the current synchronisation status for this node.
