.SH "NAME"
lightning-withdraw \- Command for withdrawing funds from the internal wallet\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBwithdraw\fR \fIdestination\fR \fIsatoshi\fR [\fIfeerate\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fBwithdraw\fR RPC command sends funds from c\-lightning\(cqs internal wallet to the address specified in \fIdestination\fR\&.
.sp
The address can be of any Bitcoin accepted type, including bech32\&.
.sp
\fIsatoshi\fR is the amount to be withdrawn from the internal wallet (expressed, as name suggests, in satoshi)\&. The string \fIall\fR can be used to specify withdrawal of all available funds\&. Otherwise, it is in satoshi precision; it can be a whole number, a whole number ending in \fIsat\fR, a whole number ending in \fI000msat\fR, or a number with 8 decimal places ending in \fIbtc\fR\&.
.sp
\fIfeerate\fR is an optional feerate to use\&. It can be one of the strings \fIurgent\fR, \fInormal\fR or \fIslow\fR to use lightningd\(cqs internal estimates: \fInormal\fR is the default\&.
.sp
Otherwise, \fIfeerate\fR is a number, with an optional suffix: \fIperkw\fR means the number is interpreted as satoshi\-per\-kilosipa (weight), and \fIperkb\fR means it is interpreted bitcoind\-style as satoshi\-per\-kilobyte\&. Omitting the suffix is equivalent to \fIperkb\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
On success, an object with attributes \fItx\fR and \fItxid\fR will be returned\&.
.sp
\fItx\fR represents the raw bitcoin, fully signed, transaction and \fItxid\fR represent the bitcoin transaction id\&.
.sp
On failure, an error is reported and the withdrawal transaction is not created\&.
.sp
The following error codes may occur:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\-1\&. Catchall nonspecific error\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
301\&. There are not enough funds in the internal wallet (including fees) to create the transaction\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
