The decodescript is a Litecoin RPC method that decodes a hex-encoded script and returns detailed information about it. This method is useful for analyzing script structures, understanding the script type (e.g., P2PKH, P2SH, multisig), and extracting addresses or public keys from scripts. It's particularly helpful for developers working with complex transaction types or debugging script-related issues.
