lightning-addgossip

lightning-addgossip -- Command for injecting a gossip message (low-level)

SYNOPSIS

addgossip message

DESCRIPTION

The addgossip RPC command injects a hex-encoded gossip message into the gossip daemon. It may return an error if it is malformed, or may update its internal state using the gossip message.

Note that currently some paths will still silently reject the gossip: it is best effort.

This is particularly used by plugins which may receive channel_update messages within error replies.

  • message (hex): The raw, hex-encoded, gossip message to add to the local gossip view.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an empty object is returned.
