lightning-newaddr -- Command for generating a new address to be used by c-lightning
===================================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**newaddr** \[ *addresstype* \]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **newaddr** RPC command generates a new address which can
subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the c-lightning node.
The funding transaction needs to be confirmed before funds can be used.
*addresstype* specifies the type of address wanted; i.e. *p2sh-segwit*
(e.g. 2MxaozoqWwiUcuD9KKgUSrLFDafLqimT9Ta on bitcoin testnet or
3MZxzq3jBSKNQ2e7dzneo9hy4FvNzmMmt3 on bitcoin mainnet) or *bech32 '
(e.g. tb1qu9j4lg5f9rgjyfhvfd905vw46eg39czmktxqgg on bitcoin testnet or
bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej on
bitcoin mainnet). The special value 'all* generates both address types
for the same underlying key.
If not specified the address generated is bech32.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, a *bech32* address and/or a *p2sh-segwit* address will be
returned.
ERRORS
------
If an unrecognized address type is requested an error message will be
returned.
