LIGHTNING-TXPREPARE(7) Manual Page ================================== lightning-txprepare - Command to prepare to withdraw funds from the internal wallet. SYNOPSIS -------- **txprepare** *destination* *satoshi* \[*feerate*\] \[*minconf*\] DESCRIPTION ----------- The **txprepare** RPC command creates an unsigned transaction which spends funds from c-lightning’s internal wallet to the address specified in *destination*. Effectively, it is the first part of a **withdraw** command, and uses the same parameters. The second part is provided by **txsend**. RETURN VALUE ------------ On success, an object with attributes *unsigned\_tx* and *txid* will be returned. You need to hand *txid* to **txsend** or **txdiscard**, as the inputs of this transaction are reserved until then, or until the daemon restarts. *unsigned\_tx* represents the raw bitcoin transaction (not yet signed) and *txid* represent the bitcoin transaction id. On failure, an error is reported and the transaction is not created. The following error codes may occur: - -1: Catchall nonspecific error. - 301: There are not enough funds in the internal wallet (including fees) to create the transaction. - 302: The dust limit is not met.
