StackBasedScriptingLanguage

Implementation of stack based scripting language for validation of transactions(clearing)

Constants

Word	Opcode	Hex	Input	Output	Description
OP_0, OP_FALSE	0	0x00	Nothing.	(empty value)	An empty array of bytes is pushed onto the stack. (This is not a no-op: an item is added to the stack.)
N/A	1-75	0x01-0x4b	(special)	data	The next opcode bytes is data to be pushed onto the stack
OP_PUSHDATA1	76	0x4c	(special)	data	The next byte contains the number of bytes to be pushed onto the stack.
OP_PUSHDATA2	77	0x4d	(special)	data	The next two bytes contain the number of bytes to be pushed onto the stack in little endian order.
OP_PUSHDATA4	78	0x4e	(special)	data	The next four bytes contain the number of bytes to be pushed onto the stack in little endian order.
OP_1NEGATE	79	0x4f	Nothing.	-1	The number -1 is pushed onto the stack.
OP_1, OP_TRUE 81	0x51	Nothing.	1	The number 1 is pushed onto the stack.
OP_2-OP_16	82-96	0x52-0x60	Nothing.	2-16	The number in the word name (2-16) is pushed onto the stack.

Flow control

Word	Opcode	Hex	Input	Output	Description
OP_NOP	97	0x61	Nothing	Nothing	Does nothing.
OP_IF	99	0x63	if [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	if [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	If the top stack value is not False, the statements are executed. The top stack value is removed.
OP_NOTIF	100	0x64	notif [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	notif [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	If the top stack value is False, the statements are executed. The top stack value is removed.
OP_ELSE	103	0x67	if [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	if [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	If the preceding OP_IF or OP_NOTIF or OP_ELSE was not executed then these statements are and if the preceding OP_IF or OP_NOTIF or OP_ELSE was executed then these statements are not.
OP_ENDIF	104	0x68	if [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	if [statements] [else [statements]]* endif	Ends an if/else block. All blocks must end, or the transaction is invalid. An OP_ENDIF without OP_IF earlier is also invalid.
OP_VERIFY	105	0x69	True / false	Nothing / fail	Marks transaction as invalid if top stack value is not true. The top stack value is removed.
OP_RETURN	106	0x6a	Nothing	fail	Marks transaction as invalid. Since bitcoin 0.9, a standard way of attaching extra data to transactions is to add a zero-value output with a scriptPubKey consisting of OP_RETURN followed by data. Such outputs are provably unspendable and specially discarded from storage in the UTXO set, reducing their cost to the network. Since 0.12, standard relay rules allow a single output with OP_RETURN, that contains any sequence of push statements (or OP_RESERVED[1]) after the OP_RETURN provided the total scriptPubKey length is at most 83 bytes.

Stack

Word	Opcode	Hex	Input	Output	Description
OP_TOALTSTACK	107	0x6b	x1	(alt)x1	Puts the input onto the top of the alt stack. Removes it from the main stack.
OP_FROMALTSTACK	108	0x6c	(alt)x1	x1	Puts the input onto the top of the main stack. Removes it from the alt stack.
OP_IFDUP	115	0x73	x	x / x x	If the top stack value is not 0, duplicate it.
OP_DEPTH	116	0x74	Nothing		Puts the number of stack items onto the stack.
OP_DROP	117	0x75	x	Nothing	Removes the top stack item.
OP_DUP	118	0x76	x	x x	Duplicates the top stack item.
OP_NIP	119	0x77	x1 x2	x2	Removes the second-to-top stack item.
OP_OVER	120	0x78	x1 x2	x1 x2 x1	Copies the second-to-top stack item to the top.
OP_PICK	121	0x79	xn ... x2 x1 x0	xn ... x2 x1 x0 xn	The item n back in the stack is copied to the top.
OP_ROLL	122	0x7a	xn ... x2 x1 x0	... x2 x1 x0 xn	The item n back in the stack is moved to the top.
OP_ROT	123	0x7b	x1 x2 x3	x2 x3 x1	The top three items on the stack are rotated to the left.
OP_SWAP	124	0x7c	x1 x2	x2 x1	The top two items on the stack are swapped.
OP_TUCK	125	0x7d	x1 x2	x2 x1 x2	The item at the top of the stack is copied and inserted before the second-to-top item.
OP_2DROP	109	0x6d	x1 x2	Nothing	Removes the top two stack items.
OP_2DUP	110	0x6e	x1 x2	x1 x2 x1 x2	Duplicates the top two stack items.
OP_3DUP	111	0x6f	x1 x2 x3	x1 x2 x3 x1 x2 x3	Duplicates the top three stack items.
OP_2OVER	112	0x70	x1 x2 x3 x4	x1 x2 x3 x4 x1 x2	Copies the pair of items two spaces back in the stack to the front.
OP_2ROT	113	0x71	x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6	x3 x4 x5 x6 x1 x2	The fifth and sixth items back are moved to the top of the stack.
OP_2SWAP	114	0x72	x1 x2 x3 x4	x3 x4 x1 x2	Swaps the top two pairs of items.
