So in "bitcoin-tx -create in=0fb9df5614be8b33be0434ce4062750d83f1b7ce05cc1296604f82eb9abf802b:0 ...."
The 0fb9df5614be8b33be0434ce4062750d83f1b7ce05cc1296604f82eb9abf802b is the txid.
Thank you.
We can use the command "bitcoin-tx -create --help" to see the explanation of the options in the command.
Topic: main() in bitcoin-tx.cpp (Read 726 times)
Code:
in=0fb9df5614be8b33be0434ce4062750d83f1b7ce05cc1296604f82eb9abf802b:0
TxIn (transaction input) structure consists of prevOut, scriptSig and sequence.
In bitcoind code prevOut has type COutPoint which consists of txid and output number.
So the "in=" you quoted means the transaction will spend the output with index 0 from transaction with id 0fb9df5614be8b33be0434ce4062750d83f1b7ce05cc1296604f82eb9abf802b, if the signature in scriptSig will be correct for
the corresponding TxOut's pk_script.
I guess the signature is generated from a key in your wallet file, if it can sign this input.
What about the in format ? what is 0fb9df56..... ? It is previous tx or scriptSig?
Read https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#raw-transaction-formatI read the link about raw transaction format. It says raw transaction has version, tx_in count, Tx_in, TX_out count, Tx_out and lock time.
I can't relate this format to the hex value in the input part.

Thank you. Now I use the bitcoin-tx binary.
bitcoin-tx -create in=0fb9df5614be8b33be0434ce4062750d83f1b7ce05cc1296604f82eb9abf802b:0 outscript=0.00159999:"DUP HASH160 0x14 0x6793a38f79b8cd51dbb6face6dc75a4af5c1bf29 EQUALVERIFY CHECKSIG"
and got the return value

i understand the outscript format. 0.00159999 is the value to be spent. What about the in format ? what is 0fb9df56..... ? It is previous tx or scriptSig?

It looks like bitcoin-tx.cpp is never built into the bincoind binary of Bitcoin core, isn't it?
No, it is not. bitcoin-tx.cpp is for bitcoin-tx, a completely separate binary. It only exists to provide the separate bitcoin-tx binary. There is a separate binary called bitcoin-tx which lets you do some transaction specific things without needing to run the full Bitcoin Core. It needs a main function for that binary to work.

thank you. should have seen that
There is a separate binary called bitcoin-tx which lets you do some transaction specific things without needing to run the full Bitcoin Core. It needs a main function for that binary to work.
Likewise, there are main functions in bitcoin-cli.cpp and qt/bitcoin.cpp as those are for separate binaries that need main functions too (bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-qt respectively).

I notice that is a main() function in bitcoin-tx.cpp. This main() is not the main function of bitcoin core. Because the main function is in bitcoind.cpp
So why there is a main() in bitcoin-tx.cpp ?
