lightning-decodepay -- Command for decoding a bolt11 string (low-level)
=======================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**decodepay** *bolt11* \[*description*\]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **decodepay** RPC command checks and parses a *bolt11* string as
specified by the BOLT 11 specification.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, an object is returned with the following fields, as
specified by BOLT11:
- *currency*: the BIP173 name for the currency.
- *timestamp*: the UNIX-style timestamp of the invoice.
- *expiry*: the number of seconds this is valid after *timestamp*.
- *payee*: the public key of the recipient.
- *payment\_hash*: the payment hash of the request.
- *signature*: the DER-encoded signature.
- *description*: the description of the purpose of the purchase (see
below)
The following fields are optional:
- *msatoshi*: the number of millisatoshi requested (if any).
- *amount\_msat*: the same as above, with *msat* appended (if any).
- *fallbacks*: array of fallback address object containing a *hex*
string, and both *type* and *addr* if it is recognized as one of
*P2PKH*, *P2SH*, *P2WPKH*, or *P2WSH*.
- *routes*: an array of routes. Each route is an arrays of objects,
each containing *pubkey*, *short\_channel\_id*, *fee\_base\_msat*,
*fee\_proportional\_millionths* and *cltv\_expiry\_delta*.
- *extra*: an array of objects representing unknown fields, each with
one-character *tag* and a *data* bech32 string.
Technically, the *description* field is optional if a
*description\_hash* field is given, but in this case **decodepay** will
only succeed if the optional *description* field is passed and matches
the *description\_hash*. In practice, these are currently unused.
