Parameters

• block_hash - The fork block hash.
• verbosity - Result format which allows 0 and 2. (Optional, the default is 2.)

Returns

The RPC returns a fork block or null. When the RPC returns a block, the block hash must equal to the parameter block_hash.

Please note that due to the technical nature of the peer to peer sync, the RPC may return null or a fork block result on different nodes with same block_hash even they are fully synced to the canonical chain. And because of chain reorganization, for the same block_hash, the RPC may sometimes return null and sometimes return the fork block.

When verbosity is 2, it returns a JSON object as the result. See BlockView for the schema.

When verbosity is 0, it returns a 0x-prefixed hex string as the result. The string encodes the block serialized by molecule using schema table Block.
