Module block 

Block types and the wrappers that pair them with their execution outcomes.

Structs

Block

Block defines the atomic unit of growth of the Linera chain.

BlockBody

The body of a block containing all the data included in the block.

BlockHeader

Succinct representation of a block. Contains all the metadata to follow the chain of blocks or verifying inclusion (event, message, oracle response, etc.) in the block’s body.

ConfirmedBlock

Wrapper around a Block that has been confirmed.

PreviousEventBlocksMap

Hashable wrapper around the lookup table mapping each stream to the previous block that published events to it.

PreviousMessageBlocksMap

Hashable wrapper around the lookup table mapping each recipient chain to the previous block that sent it messages.

Timeout

A request to move on to the next consensus round, certified when no block is confirmed in time.

ValidatedBlock

Wrapper around a Block that has been validated.

Enums

BlockBodyField

A single field of a BlockBody, paired with enough data to recompute its hash and check it against the matching hash in a BlockHeader. This lets a holder of a header prove that one body field belongs to the block without the rest of the body.

ConversionError

Failure to convert a Certificate into one of the expected certificate types.
