lightning-commando -- Command to Send a Command to a Remote Peer
================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**commando** *peer_id* *method* [*params*] [*rune*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **commando** RPC command is a homage to bad 80s movies. It also
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".
