lightning-listpeers -- Command returning data on connected lightning nodes
==========================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**listpeers** \[*id*\] \[*level*\]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **listpeers** RPC command returns data on nodes that are connected
or are not connected but have open channels with this node.
Once a connection to another lightning node has been established, using
the **connect** command, data on the node can be returned using
**listpeers** and the *id* that was used with the **connect** command.
If no *id* is supplied, then data on all lightning nodes that are
connected, or not connected but have open channels with this node, are
returned.
Supplying *id* will filter the results to only return data on a node
with a matching *id*, if one exists.
Supplying *level* will show log entries related to that peer at the
given log level. Valid log levels are "io", "debug", "info", and
"unusual".
If a channel is open with a node and the connection has been lost, then
the node will still appear in the output of the command and the value of
the *connected* attribute of the node will be "false".
The channel will remain open for a set blocktime, after which if the
connection has not been re-established, the channel will close and the
node will no longer appear in the command output.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, an object with a "peers" key is returned containing a list
of 0 or more objects.
Each object in the list contains the following data:
- *id* : The unique id of the peer
- *connected* : A boolean value showing the connection status
- *netaddr* : A list of network addresses the node is listening on
- *features* : Bit flags showing supported features (BOLT \#9)
- *channels* : An list of channel ids open on the peer
- *log* : Only present if *level* is set. List logs related to the
peer at the specified *level*
If *id* is supplied and no matching nodes are found, a "peers" object
with an empty list is returned.
On error the returned object will contain `code` and `message` properties,
with `code` being one of the following:
- -32602: If the given parameters are wrong.
