Light client logic and implementation. //! //! A "light" client stores very little chain-related data locally //! unlike a full node, which stores all blocks, headers, receipts, and more. //! //! This enables the client to have a much lower resource footprint in //! exchange for the cost of having to ask the network for state data //! while responding to queries. This makes a light client unsuitable for //! low-latency applications, but perfectly suitable for simple everyday //! use-cases like sending transactions from a personal account. //! //! The light client performs a header-only sync, doing verification and pruning //! historical blocks. Upon pruning, batches of 2048 blocks have a number => hash //! mapping sealed into "canonical hash tries" which can later be used to verify //! historical block queries from peers. #![deny(missing_docs)] pub mod client; pub mod net; pub mod on_demand; #[cfg(not(feature = "ipc"))] pub mod provider; #[cfg(feature = "ipc")] pub mod provider { #![allow(dead_code, unused_assignments, unused_variables, missing_docs)] // codegen issues include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/provider.rs")); } #[cfg(feature = "ipc")] pub mod remote { pub use provider::LightProviderClient; } mod types; pub use self::provider::Provider; pub use types::les_request as request; #[macro_use] extern crate log; extern crate ethcore; extern crate ethcore_util as util; extern crate ethcore_network as network; extern crate ethcore_io as io; extern crate rlp; extern crate smallvec; extern crate time; extern crate futures; #[cfg(feature = "ipc")] extern crate ethcore_ipc as ipc;
