.SH "NAME"
|
|
lightning-pay \- Protocol for sending a payment to a BOLT11 invoice
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBpay\fR \fIbolt11\fR [\fImsatoshi\fR] [\fIdescription\fR] [\fIriskfactor\fR]
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \fBpay\fR RPC command attempts to find a route to the given destination, and send the funds it asks for\&. If the \fIbolt11\fR does not contain an amount, \fImsatoshi\fR is required, otherwise if it is specified it must be \fInull\fR\&. If \fIbolt11\fR contains a description hash (\fIh\fR field) \fIdescription\fR is required, otherwise it is unused\&. The \fIriskfactor\fR is described in detail in lightning\-getroute(7), and defaults to 1\&.0\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The response will occur when the payment fails or succeeds\&. Once a payment has succeeded, calls to \fBpay\fR with the same \fIbolt11\fR will succeed immediately\&.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.sp
|
|
On success, this returns the payment \fIpreimage\fR which hashes to the \fIpayment_hash\fR to prove that the payment was successful\&.
|
|
.SH "AUTHOR"

|
|
Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp\&.com\&.au> is mainly responsible\&.
