lightning-sendinvoice -- Command for send an invoice for an offer ================================================================= SYNOPSIS -------- **(WARNING: experimental-offers only)** **sendinvoice** *offer* \[*label*\] \[*msatoshi*\] \[*timeout*\] \[*quantity*\] DESCRIPTION ----------- The **sendinvoice** RPC command creates and sends an invoice to the issuer of an *offer* for it to pay: the offer must contain *send_invoice*; see lightning-fetchinvoice(7). *offer* is the bolt12 offer string beginning with "lno1". *label* is the unique label to use for this invoice. *msatoshi* is optional: it is required if the *offer* does not specify an amount at all, or specifies it in a different currency. Otherwise you may set it (e.g. to provide a tip), and if not it defaults to the amount contained in the offer (multiplied by *quantity* if any). *timeout* is how many seconds to wait for the offering node to pay the invoice or return an error, default 90 seconds. This will also be the timeout on the invoice that is sent. *quantity* is optional: it is required if the *offer* specifies *quantity_min* or *quantity_max*, otherwise it is not allowed. RETURN VALUE ------------ On success, an object as per lightning-waitinvoice(7). The following error codes may occur: - -1: Catchall nonspecific error. - 1002: Offer has expired. - 1003: Cannot find a route to the node making the offer. - 1004: The node making the offer returned an error message. - 1005: We timed out waiting for the invoice to be paid AUTHOR ------ Rusty Russell <> is mainly responsible.
