Introduction

This modules defines functions for calculating bloom filters of logs. For the general theory of bloom filters see e.g. Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter>_. Bloom filters are used to allow for efficient searching of logs by address and/or topic, by rapidly eliminating blocks and receipts from their search.

add_to_bloom

Add a bloom entry to the bloom filter (bloom).

The number of hash functions used is 3. They are calculated by taking the least significant 11 bits from the first 3 16-bit words of the keccak_256() hash of bloom_entry.

Parameters

bloom : The bloom filter. bloom_entry : An entry which is to be added to bloom filter.

logs_bloom

Obtain the logs bloom from a list of log entries.

The address and each topic of a log are added to the bloom filter.

Parameters

logs : List of logs for which the logs bloom is to be obtained.

Returns

logs_bloom : Bloom The logs bloom obtained which is 256 bytes with some bits set as per the caller address and the log topics.
