Some utilities that may be useful when interacting with Ethereum smart contracts.
See also ensNameHashes
Usage:
> ethUtilFunctionIdentifier <name> [argument-type] [argument-type]...
Computes the canonical function signature and four-byte function identifier of a standard Ethereum smart contract function, given the function name and argument types. For no argument functions, just provide a name with no argument types.
See also ethContractAbiCallEncode and ethContractAbiCallDecode.
Example:
> ethUtilFunctionIdentifier addFortune string
[info] Canonical signature: addFortune(string)
[info] Identifier: 0x4cf373e6
Usage:
> ethUtilHashKeccak256 <hex-string>
> ethUtilHashKeccak256 <quoted-string-as-utf8>
Computes the Ethereum-standard Keccak256 hash of a given bytestring or quoted string (as UTF8 bytes).
Example:
> ethUtilHashKeccak256 0xabcdef
[info] 0x800d501693feda2226878e1ec7869eef8919dbc5bd10c2bcd031b94d73492860
[success] Total time: 1 s, completed Nov 9, 2019 10:33:43 PM
> ethUtilHashKeccak256 "Hello"
[info] 0x06b3dfaec148fb1bb2b066f10ec285e7c9bf402ab32aa78a5d38e34566810cd2
[success] Total time: 0 s, completed Feb 24, 2021, 6:38:14 AM
Usage:
> ethUtilTimeIsoNow
Prints the current time in ISO formats that are acceptable to ethUtilTimeUnix.
The main purpose of this task is to give users a template time format they can edit to get a desired UNIX time. See ethUtilTimeUnix.
Example:
> ethUtilTimeIsoNow
[info] 2019-11-10T06:37:24.686Z (UTC) or 2019-11-09T22:37:24.686-08:00 (local)
[success] Total time: 0 s, completed Nov 9, 2019 10:37:25 PM
Usage:
> ethUtilTimeUnix [optional-ISO-timestamp]
Accepts a timestamp in any format output by ethUtilTimeIsoNow, and converts it into UNIX-epoch time, in both seconds and milliseconds.
If no timestamp is specified, the current time is logged.
Example (with optional argument):
> ethUtilTimeUnix 2019-11-09T22:37:24.686-08:00
[info] 1573367844 seconds, or 1573367844686 milliseconds, into the UNIX epoch
[success] Total time: 0 s, completed Nov 9, 2019 10:41:21 PM
Example (no argument, current time):
> ethUtilTimeUnix
[info] 1573368165 seconds, or 1573368165534 milliseconds, into the UNIX epoch (according to the system clock)
[success] Total time: 0 s, completed Nov 9, 2019 10:42:45 PM
