# Support for Output Descriptors in Bitcoin Core
Since Bitcoin Core v0.17, there is support for Output Descriptors in the
`scantxoutset` RPC call. This is a simple language which can be used to
describe collections of output scripts.
Since Bitcoin Core v0.17, there is support for Output Descriptors. This is a
simple language which can be used to describe collections of output scripts.
Supporting RPCs are:
- `scantxoutset` takes as input descriptors to scan for, and also reports
specialized descriptors for the matching UTXOs.
- `getdescriptorinfo` analyzes a descriptor, and reports a canonicalized version
with checksum added.
- `deriveaddresses` takes as input a descriptor and computes the corresponding
addresses.
- `listunspent` outputs a specialized descriptor for the reported unspent outputs.
This document describes the language. For the specifics on usage for scanning
the UTXO set, see the `scantxoutset` RPC help.
