@ -43,15 +43,14 @@ When used at the top level, there can only be at most 3 keys.
When used inside of a <tt>sh()</tt> expression, there can only be most 15 compressed public keys (this is limited by the P2SH script limit).
Otherwise the maximum number of keys is 20.
The output script produced also depends on the value of <tt>k</tt>. If <tt>k</tt> is less than or equal to 16:
The output script produced will be
<pre>
OP_k KEY_1 KEY_2 ... KEY_n OP_CHECKMULTISIG
k KEY_1 KEY_2 ... KEY_n n OP_CHECKMULTISIG
</pre>
if <tt>k</tt> is greater than 16:
<pre>
k KEY_1 KEY_2 ... KEY_n OP_CHECKMULTISIG
</pre>
The values <tt>k</tt> and <tt>n</tt> must be minimally encoded integers.
For values less than or equal to 16, they must be encoded using <tt>OP_0</tt> through <tt>OP_16</tt>.
For values greater than 16, they must be a push of the signed little endian encoded value without padding.
