payment is a multi-part payment (MPP) the command return a list of
payments will be returned -- one payment object for each partid\.


On success, an object containing \fBpayments\fR is returned\.  It is an array of objects, where each object contains:

.RS
.IP \[bu]
\fBid\fR (u64): unique ID for this payment attempt
.IP \[bu]
\fBpayment_hash\fR (hex): the hash of the \fIpayment_preimage\fR which will prove payment (always 64 characters)
.IP \[bu]
\fBstatus\fR (string): status of the payment (one of "pending", "failed", "complete")
.IP \[bu]
\fBamount_sent_msat\fR (msat): the amount we actually sent, including fees
.IP \[bu]
\fBcreated_at\fR (u64): the UNIX timestamp showing when this payment was initiated
.IP \[bu]
\fBpartid\fR (u64, optional): unique ID within this (multi-part) payment
.IP \[bu]
\fBdestination\fR (pubkey, optional): the final destination of the payment if known
.IP \[bu]
\fBamount_msat\fR (msat, optional): the amount the destination received, if known
.IP \[bu]

\fBerroronion\fR (hex, optional): the error onion returned on failure, if any\.

.RE

On failure, an error is returned\. If the lightning process fails before responding, the
caller should use \fBlightning-listsentpays\fR(7) or \fBlightning-listpays\fR(7) to query whether this payment was deleted or not\.


The following error codes may occur:

.RS
.IP \[bu]
-32602: Parameter missed or malformed;
.IP \[bu]
211: Payment status mismatch\. Check the correct status via \fBpaystatus\fR;
.IP \[bu]
208: Payment with payment_hash not found\.
