lightning-waitanyinvoice -- Command for waiting for payments
============================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**waitanyinvoice** \[*lastpay\_index*\]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **waitanyinvoice** RPC command waits until an invoice is paid, then
returns a single entry as per **listinvoice**. It will not return for
any invoices paid prior to or including the *lastpay\_index*.
This is usually called iteratively: once with no arguments, then
repeatedly with the returned *pay\_index* entry. This ensures that no
paid invoice is missed.
The *pay\_index* is a monotonically-increasing number assigned to an
invoice when it gets paid. The first valid *pay\_index* is 1; specifying
*lastpay\_index* of 0 equivalent to not specifying a *lastpay\_index*.
Negative *lastpay\_index* is invalid.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, an invoice description will be returned as per
lightning-listinvoice(7): *complete* will always be *true*.
