lightning-askrene-reserve -- Command for informing askrene that you are trying a path

SYNOPSIS

askrene-reserve path

DESCRIPTION

Command added in v24.11.

The askrene-reserve RPC command tells askrene that a path is being attempted. This allows it to take that into account when other getroutes calls are made. You should call askrene-unreserve after the attempt has completed (and before calling askrene-inform).

Note that additional properties inside the path elements are ignored, which is useful when used with the result of getroutes.

• path (array of objects):
  • short_channel_id_dir (short_channel_id_dir): The channel and direction joining these nodes.
  • amount_msat (msat): The amount to send into this hop.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an empty object is returned.
