LIGHTNING-INVOICE(7) ==================== :doctype: manpage NAME ---- lightning-invoice - Protocol for accepting payments. SYNOPSIS -------- *invoice* 'msatoshi' 'label' DESCRIPTION ----------- The *invoice* RPC command creates the expectation of a payment of a given amount of milli-satoshi: it returns a unique token which another lightning daemon can use to pay this invoice. The 'label' must be unique; it is never revealed to other nodes on the lightning network, but it can be used to query the status of this invoice. RETURN VALUE ------------ On success, a hash is returned as 'rhash' to be given to the payer. On failure, an error is returned and no invoice is created. If the lightning process fails before responding, the caller should use getinvoice(7) to query whether this invoice was created or not. //FIXME:Enumerate errors AUTHOR ------ Rusty Russell is mainly responsible.
