FILE GUIDE · KEY SECTIONS

The offline dump and restore interface

Two functions expose database dumping and reconstruction from a dump. Both report success separately from an error description.

Line 18 ↗

Export records from an already opened database

The caller supplies arguments, a WalletDatabase reference and an error object. The implementation defines the dump format and output-path rules. This declaration does not promise that the dump excludes private keys or can be published safely.

Line 19 ↗

Create a named wallet at a caller-selected path

The reconstruction API takes a wallet name and filesystem path as well as the dump arguments. It is a local maintenance operation, not a public explorer upload endpoint or a replacement for verifying a restored wallet.
