Guix release binaries use the POSIX GCC thread model, but the pinned
Nixpkgs cross compiler defaults to MCF. Select POSIX through the
Nixpkgs threads hook so GCC and its target libraries agree.
Leave threads.package null because making winpthreads a target
dependency exposes its headers to native GCC build tools. Supply its
headers and libraries through EXTRA_*_FOR_TARGET for target libraries
instead.
Add winpthreads to the compiler wrapper so builds in the shell get
its include and library paths without manual NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE or
NIX_LDFLAGS exports.

Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the 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.
ASMap
Utilities to analyze and process asmap files.
Build Tools and Keys
Packaging
The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.
All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac 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.
Command Line Tools
Completions
Shell completions for bash and fish.
UTXO Set Tools
UTXO-to-SQLite
This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset)
to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the
module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help output.
