Rusty Russell fe86c117d9 datastore: turn keys into arrays
After some discussion with @shesek, and my own usage, we agreed that
a more comprehensive interface, which explicitly supports grouping,
is desirable.

Thus keys are now arrays, with the semantic that a key is either a
parent or has a value, never both.

For convenience in the JSON schema, we always return them as arrays,
though we accept simple strings as arguments.

lightning-listdatastore -- Command for listing (plugin) data

SYNOPSIS

listdatastore [key]

DESCRIPTION

The listdatastore RPC command allows plugins to fetch data which was stored in the c-lightning database.

All immediate children of the key (or root children) are returned: a key with children won't have a hex or generation entry.

RETURN VALUE

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

  • key (array of strings):
    • Part of the key added to the datastore
  • generation (u64, optional): The number of times this has been updated
  • hex (hex, optional): The hex data from the datastore
  • string (string, optional): The data as a string, if it's valid utf-8 comment: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-END)

The following error codes may occur:

  • -32602: invalid parameters.
