Parse the dispatch tables from the server implementation files, and the conversion table from the client. Perform the following consistency checks: - Arguments defined in conversion table, must be present in dispatch table. If not, it was probably forgotten to add them to the dispatch table, and they will not work. - Arguments defined in conversion table must have the same names as in the dispatch table. If not, they will not work. - All aliases for an argument must either be present in the conversion table, or not. Anything in between means an oversight and some aliases won't work. Any of these results in an error. It also performs a consistency check to see if the same named argument is sometimes converted, and sometimes not. E.g. one RPC call might have a 'verbose' argument that is converted, another RPC call might have one that is not converted. This is not necessarily wrong, but points at a possible error (as well as makes the API harder to memorize) - so it is emitted as a warning (could upgrade this to error).
Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Contains the script github-merge.py for merging GitHub pull requests securely and signing them using GPG.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the above github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Debian
Contains files used to package bitcoind/bitcoin-qt for Debian-based Linux systems. If you compile bitcoind/bitcoin-qt yourself, there are some useful files here.
Gitian-descriptors
Notes on getting Gitian builds up and running using KVM.
Gitian-keys
PGP keys used for signing Bitcoin Core Gitian release results.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
RPM
RPM spec file for building bitcoin-core on RPM based distributions.
Gitian-build
Script for running full Gitian builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
