[docs] Suggestion / Change Request - Fix Description for 2nd Argument of setabi() #578

Open b1aafulei opened 2 years ago

b1aafulei commented 2 years ago

Code: Source

Regarding https://developers.eos.io/manuals/eosio.contracts/latest/action-reference/eosio.bios/index/#setabi

For the 2rd argument abi of the function void setabi(account, abi) the current description

"the abi hash represented as a vector of characters"

is inaccurate. It should simply be

"the ABI represented as a vector of characters"

The abi argument that gets passed is just a text string, not a hash. Hashing happens afterwards.
