lightning-txprepare -- Command to prepare to withdraw funds from the internal wallet
|
||
====================================================================================
|
||
|
||
SYNOPSIS
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
**txprepare** *outputs* \[*feerate*\] \[*minconf*\] \[*utxos*\]
|
||
|
||
DESCRIPTION
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
The **txprepare** RPC command creates an unsigned transaction which
|
||
spends funds from c-lightning’s internal wallet to the outputs specified
|
||
in *outputs*.
|
||
|
||
The *outputs* is the array of output that include *destination*
|
||
and *amount*(\{*destination*: *amount*\}). Its format is like:
|
||
\[\{address1: amount1\}, \{address2: amount2\}\]
|
||
or
|
||
\[\{address: *all*\}\].
|
||
It supports any number of **confirmed** outputs.
|
||
|
||
The *destination* of output is the address which can be of any Bitcoin accepted
|
||
type, including bech32.
|
||
|
||
The *amount* of output is the amount to be sent from the internal wallet
|
||
(expressed, as name suggests, in amount). The string *all* can be used to specify
|
||
all available funds. Otherwise, it is in amount precision; it can be a whole
|
||
number, a whole number ending in *sat*, a whole number ending in *000msat*,
|
||
or a number with 1 to 8 decimal places ending in *btc*.
|
||
|
||
*feerate* is an optional feerate to use. It can be one of the strings
|
||
*urgent* (aim for next block), *normal* (next 4 blocks or so) or *slow*
|
||
(next 100 blocks or so) to use lightningd’s internal estimates: *normal*
|
||
is the default.
|
||
|
||
Otherwise, *feerate* is a number, with an optional suffix: *perkw* means
|
||
the number is interpreted as satoshi-per-kilosipa (weight), and *perkb*
|
||
means it is interpreted bitcoind-style as satoshi-per-kilobyte. Omitting
|
||
the suffix is equivalent to *perkb*.
|
||
|
||
*minconf* specifies the minimum number of confirmations that used
|
||
outputs should have. Default is 1.
|
||
|
||
*utxos* specifies the utxos to be used to fund the transaction, as an array
|
||
of "txid:vout". These must be drawn from the node's available UTXO set.
|
||
|
||
**txprepare** is similar to the first part of a **withdraw** command, but
|
||
supports multiple outputs and uses *outputs* as parameter. The second part
|
||
is provided by **txsend**.
|
||
|
||
RETURN VALUE
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
On success, an object with attributes *unsigned\_tx* and *txid* will be
|
||
returned. You need to hand *txid* to **txsend** or **txdiscard**, as the
|
||
inputs of this transaction are reserved until then, or until the daemon
|
||
restarts.
|
||
|
||
*unsigned\_tx* represents the raw bitcoin transaction (not yet signed)
|
||
and *txid* represent the bitcoin transaction id.
|
||
|
||
On failure, an error is reported and the transaction is not created.
|
||
|
||
The following error codes may occur:
|
||
- -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
|
||
- 301: There are not enough funds in the internal wallet (including
|
||
fees) to create the transaction.
|
||
- 302: The dust limit is not met.
