If you miss a wait event, you can catch up by doing listinvoices and getting the max of these fields. It's also a good debugging clue. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

lightning-sendinvoice -- Command for send an invoice for an offer
|
|
=================================================================
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**(WARNING: experimental-offers only)**
|
|
|
|
**sendinvoice** *invreq* *label* [*amount\_msat*] [*timeout*] [*quantity*]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The **sendinvoice** RPC command creates and sends an invoice to the
|
|
issuer of an *invoice\_request* for it to pay: lightning-invoicerequest(7).
|
|
|
|
If **fetchinvoice-noconnect** is not specified in the configuation, it
|
|
will connect to the destination in the (currently common!) case where it
|
|
cannot find a route which supports `option_onion_messages`.
|
|
|
|
*invreq* is the bolt12 invoice\_request string beginning with "lnr1".
|
|
|
|
*label* is the unique label to use for this invoice.
|
|
|
|
*amount\_msat* is optional: it is required if the *offer* does not specify
|
|
an amount at all, or specifies it in a different currency. Otherwise
|
|
you may set it (e.g. to provide a tip), and if not it defaults to the
|
|
amount contained in the offer (multiplied by *quantity* if any).
|
|
|
|
*timeout* is how many seconds to wait for the offering node to pay the
|
|
invoice or return an error, default 90 seconds. This will also be the
|
|
timeout on the invoice that is sent.
|
|
|
|
*quantity* is optional: it is required if the *offer* specifies
|
|
*quantity\_max*, otherwise it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
