Module compact_size

Types and serialization for the Bitcoin CompactSize format.

Zebra decodes CompactSize fields into two different types, depending on the consensus rules that apply to that type:

• CompactSizeMessage for sizes that must be less than the network message limit, and
• CompactSize64 for flags, arbitrary counts, and sizes that span multiple blocks.

Structs

• CompactSize64
  An arbitrary CompactSize-encoded field. Used for flags, arbitrary counts, and sizes that span multiple blocks.
• CompactSizeMessage
  A CompactSize-encoded field that is limited to MAX_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_LEN. Used for sizes or counts of objects that are sent in network messages.
