> :book: _What is nLockTime?_ It's the same thing as locktime. More specifically, it's what locktime is called internal to the Bitcoin Core source code.
> :book: _What is Timelock?_ Locktime is just one way to lock Bitcoin transactions until some point in the future; collectively these methods are called timelocks. Locktime is the most basic timelock method. It locks an entire transaction with an absolute time, and it's available through `bitcoin-cli` (which is why it's the only timelock covered in this section). A parallel method, which locks a transaction with a relative time, is defined in [BIP 68](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki) and covered in [§9.3: Using CSV in Scripts](09_3_Using_CSV_in_Scripts.md).

> Bitcoin Script further empowers both sorts of timelocks, allowing for the locking of individual outputs instead of entire transactions. Absolute timelocks (such as Locktime) are linked to the Script opcode OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, which is defined in [BIP 65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki) and covered in [§9.2: Using CLTV in Scripts](09_2_Using_CLTV_in_Scripts.md), while relative timelocks (such as Timelock) are linked to the Script opcode OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY, which is defined in [BIP 112](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki) and also covered in [§11.3](11_3_Using_CSV_in_Scripts.md).
