lightning-plugin - Manage plugins with RPC

SYNOPSIS
--------

**plugin** command \[parameter\] \[second\_parameter\]

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The **plugin** RPC command allows to manage plugins without having to
restart lightningd. It takes 1 to 3 parameters: a command
(start/stop/startdir/rescan/list) which describes the action to take and
optionally one or two parameters which describes the plugin on which the
action has to be taken.

The *start* command takes a path as parameter and will load the plugin
available from this path.

The *stop* command takes a plugin name as parameter and will kill and
unload the specified plugin.

The *startdir* command takes a directory path as parameter and will load
all plugins this directory contains.

The *rescan* command starts all not-already-loaded plugins from the
default plugins directory (by default *~/.lightning/plugins*).

The *list* command will return all the active plugins.

RETURN VALUE
------------

On success, this returns an array *plugins* of objects, one by plugin.
Each object contains the name of the plugin (*name* field) and its
status (*active* boolean field). Since plugins are configured
asynchronously, a freshly started plugin may not appear immediately.
