Operations on contracts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- ``CREATE_CONTRACT { storage 'g ; parameter 'p ; code ... }``:
- Forge a new contract from a literal.
-
-::
-
- :: option key_hash : mutez : 'g : 'S
- -> operation : address : 'S
-
-Originate a contract based on a literal. The parameters are the
-optional delegate, the initial amount taken from the current
-contract, and the initial storage of the originated contract.
-The contract is returned as a first class value (to be dropped, passed
-as parameter or stored). The ``CONTRACT 'p`` instruction will fail
-until it is actually originated. Note that since ``tz4`` addresses
-cannot be registered as delegates, the origination operation will fail
-if the delegate is a ``tz4``.
-
-- ``TRANSFER_TOKENS``: Forge a transaction.
-
-::
-
- :: 'p : mutez : contract 'p : 'S -> operation : 'S
-
-The parameter must be consistent with the one expected by the
-contract, unit for an account.
-
-.. _MichelsonSetDelegate_alpha:
-
-- ``SET_DELEGATE``: Set or withdraw the contract's delegation.
-
-::
-
- :: option key_hash : 'S -> operation : 'S
-
-Using this instruction is the only way to modify the delegation of a
-smart contract. If the parameter is ``None`` then the delegation of the
-current contract is withdrawn; if it is ``Some kh`` where ``kh`` is the
-key hash of a registered delegate that is not the current delegate of
-the contract, then this operation sets the delegate of the contract to
-this registered delegate. The operation fails if ``kh`` is the current
-delegate of the contract or if ``kh`` is not a registered delegate.
-Note that ``tz4`` addresses cannot be registered as delegates.
+A detailed description of the following instructions can be found in the `interactive Michelson reference manual `__.
+- ``CREATE_CONTRACT { storage 'g ; parameter 'p ; code ... }``:
+ Forge a new contract from a literal (`documentation `__).
+- ``TRANSFER_TOKENS``: Forge a transaction (`documentation `__).
+- ``SET_DELEGATE``: Set or withdraw the contract's delegation (`documentation `__).
- ``BALANCE``: Push the current amount of mutez held by the executing
- contract, including any mutez added by the calling transaction.
-
-::
-
- :: 'S -> mutez : 'S
-
-- ``ADDRESS``: Cast the contract to its address.
-
-::
-
- :: contract _ : 'S -> address : 'S
-
- > ADDRESS / addr : S => addr : S
-
-- ``CONTRACT 'p``: Cast the address to the given contract type if possible.
-
-::
-
- :: address : 'S -> option (contract 'p) : 'S
-
- > CONTRACT / addr : S => Some addr : S
- iff addr exists and is a contract of parameter type 'p
- > CONTRACT / addr : S => Some addr : S
- iff 'p = unit and addr is an implicit contract
- > CONTRACT / addr : S => None : S
- otherwise
-
+ contract, including any mutez added by the calling transaction (`documentation `__).
+- ``ADDRESS``: Cast the contract to its address (`documentation `__).
+- ``CONTRACT 'p``: Cast the address to the given contract type if possible (`documentation `__).
- ``SOURCE``: Push the contract that initiated the current
- transaction, i.e. the contract that paid the fees and
- storage cost, and whose manager signed the operation
- that was sent on the blockchain. Note that since
- ``TRANSFER_TOKENS`` instructions can be chained,
- ``SOURCE`` and ``SENDER`` are not necessarily the same.
-
-::
-
- :: 'S -> address : 'S
-
+ transaction (`documentation `__).
- ``SENDER``: Push the contract that initiated the current
- internal transaction. It may be the ``SOURCE``, but may
- also be different if the source sent an order to an intermediate
- smart contract, which then called the current contract.
-
-::
-
- :: 'S -> address : 'S
-
-- ``SELF``: Push the current contract.
-
-::
-
- :: 'S -> contract 'p : 'S
- where contract 'p is the type of the current contract
-
-Note that ``SELF`` is forbidden in lambdas because it cannot be
-type-checked; the type of the contract executing the lambda cannot be
-known at the point of type-checking the lambda's body.
-
-- ``SELF_ADDRESS``: Push the address of the current contract. This is
- equivalent to ``SELF; ADDRESS`` except that it is allowed in
- lambdas.
-
-::
-
- :: 'S -> address : 'S
-
-Note that ``SELF_ADDRESS`` inside a lambda returns the address of the
-contract executing the lambda, which can be different from the address
-of the contract in which the ``SELF_ADDRESS`` instruction is written.
-
-- ``AMOUNT``: Push the amount of the current transaction.
-
-::
-
- :: 'S -> mutez : 'S
-
-- ``IMPLICIT_ACCOUNT``: Return a default contract with the given
- public/private key pair. Any funds deposited in this contract can
- immediately be spent by the holder of the private key. This contract
- cannot execute Michelson code and will always exist on the
- blockchain.
-
-::
-
- :: key_hash : 'S -> contract unit : 'S
-
-- ``VOTING_POWER``: Return the voting power of a given contract. This
- voting power coincides with the weight of the contract in the
- voting listings, which is calculated at the beginning of every
- voting period. Currently the voting power is proportional to the
- full staking balance of the contract, but this might change in
- future version of the protocol and developers should not rely on
- this. Hence, the value returned by ``VOTING_POWER`` should only be
- considered relative to the one returned by ``TOTAL_VOTING_POWER``.
-

-
- :: key_hash : 'S -> nat : 'S
+ internal transaction (`documentation `__).
+- ``SELF``: Push the current contract (`documentation `__).
+- ``SELF_ADDRESS``: Push the address of the current contract (`documentation `__).
+- ``AMOUNT``: Push the amount of the current transaction (`documentation `__).
+- ``IMPLICIT_ACCOUNT``: Push on the stack the contract value corresponding to the implicit account of a public key hash (`documentation `__).
+- ``VOTING_POWER``: Push the voting power of a given contract (`documentation `__).
