keys that will be the only keys used to sign the transaction.
The third optional argument (may be null) is an array of previous transaction outputs that
this transaction depends on but may not yet be in the block chain.

Arguments:
1. "hexstring" (string, required) The transaction hex string
2. "privkeys" (string, required) A json array of base58-encoded private keys for signing
[ (json array of strings)

"errors" : [ (json array of objects) Script verification errors (if there are any)
{
"txid" : "hash", (string) The hash of the referenced, previous transaction
"vout" : n, (numeric) The index of the output to spent and used as input
