Rusty Russell b9ac032329 doc: force refresh of all manpages.
The idea is that you regenerate the man pages in the same commit you
alter them: that's how we know whether to try regenerating them or not
(git doesn't store timestamps, so it can't really tell).

Travis will now check this, so force them all to sync to this commit.

lightning-decodepay -- Command for decoding a bolt11 string (low-level)

SYNOPSIS

decodepay bolt11 [description]

DESCRIPTION

The decodepay RPC command checks and parses a bolt11 string as specified by the BOLT 11 specification.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an object is returned with the following fields, as specified by BOLT11:

  • currency: the BIP173 name for the currency.
  • timestamp: the UNIX-style timestamp of the invoice.
  • expiry: the number of seconds this is valid after timestamp.
  • payee: the public key of the recipient.
  • payment_hash: the payment hash of the request.
  • signature: the DER-encoded signature.
  • description: the description of the purpose of the purchase (see below)

The following fields are optional:

  • msatoshi: the number of millisatoshi requested (if any).
  • amount_msat: the same as above, with msat appended (if any).
  • fallbacks: array of fallback address object containing a hex string, and both type and addr if it is recognized as one of P2PKH, P2SH, P2WPKH, or P2WSH.
  • routes: an array of routes. Each route is an arrays of objects, each containing pubkey, short_channel_id, fee_base_msat, fee_proportional_millionths and cltv_expiry_delta.
  • extra: an array of objects representing unknown fields, each with one-character tag and a data bech32 string.

Technically, the description field is optional if a description_hash field is given, but in this case decodepay will only succeed if the optional description field is passed and matches the description_hash. In practice, these are currently unused.
