lightning-askrene-create-channel -- Command to add a channel to layer
SYNOPSIS
askrene-create-channel layer source destination short_channel_id capacity_msat
DESCRIPTION
Command added in v24.11.
The askrene-create-channel RPC command tells askrene create a channel in the given layer. To actually populate the channel use askrene-update-channel in each direction.
- layer (string): The name of the layer to apply this change to.
- source (pubkey): The source node id for the channel.
- destination (pubkey): The destination node id for the channel.
- short_channel_id (short_channel_id): The short channel id for the channel. If a channel with this short channel id already exists in layer, the source, destination and capacity_msat must be the same.
- capacity_msat (msat): The capacity (onchain size) of the channel.
