lightning-commando -- Command to Send a Command to a Remote Peer
================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
doc: escape more naughty underscores The only time underscores aren't special in Markdown is when they appear in preformatted text. We have gotten away with not escaping underscores where an asterisk-enclosed span or the paragraph ends before the next underscore appears, but this is fragile and bad practice. Conversely, there are many places where we have not escaped underscores but needed to. Escape all underscores that do not appear in preformatted blocks or preformatted spans and are not themselves delineating emphasized spans. The changes in this commit are exactly the result of executing the following Bash code: ```bash e=':x;' # begin loop e+='s/^' # anchor match at beginning of line e+='(' # begin capturing subexpression e+='(' # begin list of alternatives e+='[^`_\\]|' # any mundane character, or e+='`([^`\\]|\\.)*`|' # backtick-enclosed span, or e+='\b_|_\b|' # underscore at boundary, or e+='\\.' # backslash-escaped character e+=')*' # any number of the preceding alternatives e+=')' # end capturing subexpression e+='\B_\B/\1\\_/;' # escape non-formatting underscore e+='tx' # repeat loop if we escaped an underscore escape_underscores=( sed # use extended regular expressions -E # skip over indented blocks (following an empty line) -e '/^$/{:i;n;/^( {4,}|\t)/bi}' # skip over preformatted blocks -e '/^\s*```/,/^\s*```/{p;d}' # skip over generated sections -e '/GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START/,/GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-END/{p;d}' # escape underscores -e "${e}" ) "${escape_underscores[@]}" -i doc/*.[0-9].md ``` Changelog-None

sends a directly-connected *peer\_id* a custom message, containing a
request to run *method* (with an optional dictionary of *params*);
generally the peer will only allow you to run a command if it has
provided you with a *rune* which allows it.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, the return depends on the *method* invoked.
On failure, one of the following error codes may be returned:
- -32600: Usually means peer is not connected
- 19535: the local commando plugin discovered an error.
- 19536: the remote commando plugin discovered an error.
- 19537: the remote commando plugin said we weren't authorized.
It can also fail if the peer does not respond, in which case it will simply
hang awaiting a response.
AUTHOR
------
Rusty Russell <<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>> wrote the original Python
commando.py plugin, the in-tree commando plugin, and this manual page.
Christian Decker came up with the name "commando", which almost
excuses his previous adoption of the name "Eltoo".
