lightning-decode -- Command for decoding an invoice string (low-level)
=======================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**(WARNING: experimental-offers only)**
**decode** *string*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **decode** RPC command checks and parses a *bolt11* or *bolt12*
string (optionally prefixed by `lightning:` or `LIGHTNING:`) as
specified by the BOLT 11 and BOLT 12 specifications. It may decode
other formats in future.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, an object is returned with a *type* member indicating the
type of the decoding:
*type*: "bolt12 offer"
- *offer_id*: the id of this offer (merkle hash of non-signature fields)
- *chains* (optional): if set, an array of genesis hashes of supported chains. (Unset implies bitcoin mainnet).
- *currency* (optional): ISO 4217 code of the currency.
- *minor_unit* (optional): the number of decimal places to apply to amount (if currency known)
- *amount* (optional): the amount in the *currency* adjusted by *minor_unit*, if any.
- *amount_msat* (optional): the amount (with "msat" appended) if there is no *currency*.
- *send_invoice* (optional): `true` if this is a send_invoice offer.
- *refund_for* (optional): the sha256 payment_preimage of invoice this is a refund for.

- *recurrence* (optional): an object containing *time_unit*, *time_unit_name* (optional, a string), *period*, *basetime* (optional), *start_any_period* (optional), *limit* (optional), and *paywindow* (optional) object containing *seconds_before*, *seconds_after* and *proportional_amount* (optional).
- *node_id*: 32-byte (x-only) public key of the offering node.
- *signature*: BIP-340 signature of the *node_id* on this offer.
*type*: "bolt12 invoice"

- *amount_msat* (optional): the amount (with "msat" appended).
- *description* (optional): the UTF-8 description of the purpose of the offer.
- *vendor* (optional): the UTF-8 name of the vendor for this offer.
- *features* (optional): hex array of feature bits.
- *paths* (optional): Array of objects containing *blinding*, *path* array; each *path* entry contains an object with *node_id*, *enctlv*, *fee_base_msat* (optional), *fee_proportional_millionths* (optional), *cltv_expiry_delta* (optional), and *features* (optional).
- *quantity* (optional): quantity of items.
- *send_invoice* (optional): `true` if this is a response to a send_invoice offer.
- *refund_for* (optional): the sha256 payment_preimage of invoice this is a refund for.
- *recurrence_counter* (optional): the zero-based number of the invoice for a recurring offer.
- *recurrence_start* (optional): the zero-based offet of the first invoice for the recurring offer.
- *recurrence_basetime* (optional): the UNIX timestamp of the first period of the offer.
- *payer_key* (optional): the 32-byte (x-only) id of the payer.
- *payer_info* (optional): a variable-length blob for the payer to derive their key.
- *timestamp* (optional): the UNIX timestamp of the invoice.
- *payment_hash* (optional): the hex SHA256 of the payment_preimage.
- *expiry* (optional): seconds from *timestamp* when invoice expires.
- *min_final_cltv_expiry*: required CLTV for final hop.
