.SH "NAME"
lightning-waitanyinvoice \- Protocol for waiting for payments\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBwaitanyinvoice\fR [\fIlastpay_index\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fBwaitanyinvoice\fR RPC command waits until an invoice is paid, then returns a single entry as per \fBlistinvoice\fR\&. It will not return for any invoices paid prior to or including the \fIlastpay_index\fR\&.
.sp
This is usually called iteratively: once with no arguments, then repeatedly with the returned \fIpay_index\fR entry\&. This ensures that no paid invoice is missed\&.
.sp
The \fIpay_index\fR is a monotonically\-increasing number assigned to an invoice when it gets paid\&. The first valid \fIpay_index\fR is 1; specifying \fIlastpay_index\fR of 0 equivalent to not specifying a \fIlastpay_index\fR\&. Negative \fIlastpay_index\fR is invalid\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
On success, an invoice description will be returned as per lightning\-listinvoice(7): \fIcomplete\fR will always be \fItrue\fR\&.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.sp
Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp\&.com\&.au> is mainly responsible\&.
