NAME |
||||
|
---- |
||||
|
lightning-connect - Command for connecting to another |
||||
|
lightning node. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
SYNOPSIS |
||||
|
-------- |
||||
|
*connect* 'node_id'[@('ip_addr'|'hostname')[:'port']] |
||||
|
|
||||
|
or |
||||
|
|
||||
|
*connect* 'node_id'[ ('ip_addr'|'hostname')[:'port']] |
||||
|
|
||||
|
DESCRIPTION |
||||
|
----------- |
||||
|
The *connect* RPC command establishes a new connection |
||||
|
with another node in the Lightning Network. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
'node_id' represents the target node's public key and |
||||
|
'ip_addr' can be either IPv4 or IPv6. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
If not specified the 'port' is assumed to be 9375 |
||||
|
(default lightning port). |
||||
|
|
||||
|
If neither 'ip_addr' or 'hostname' is specified, |
||||
|
connection will be attempted to an IP belonging to |
||||
|
'node_id' learned through gossip with other already |
||||
|
connected peers |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Connecting to a node is just the first step in opening |
||||
|
a channel with another node, once the peer is connected |
||||
|
a channel can be opened with lightning-fundchannel(7) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
RETURN VALUE |
||||
|
------------ |
||||
|
On success the response will include just the peer id |
||||
|
(peer's public key) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
ERRORS |
||||
|
------ |
||||
|
If 'node_id' or 'ip_addr' are invalid or if 'hostname' |
||||
|
can't be resolved to a valid IP address an error message |
||||
|
will be returned. An error will also be returned if the |
||||
|
simplified version (only 'node_id') is used and there's |
||||
|
no published IP for the peer. *connect* will make up to |
||||
|
10(?) attempts to connect to the peer before giving up |
||||
