# 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.
-
-This document describes the language. For the specifics on usage for scanning
-the UTXO set, see the `scantxoutset` RPC help.
+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, see the RPC
+documentation for the functions mentioned above.
