lightning-commando -- Command to Send a Command to a Remote Peer

SYNOPSIS

commando peer_id method [params] [rune]

DESCRIPTION

The commando RPC command is a homage to bad 80s movies. It also
sends a directly-connected peer_id a custom message, containing a
request to run method (with an optional dictionary of params);
generally the peer will only allow you to run a command if it has
provided you with a rune which allows it.

RETURN VALUE

On success, the return depends on the method invoked.

On failure, one of the following error codes may be returned:

  • -32600: Usually means peer is not connected
  • 19535: the local commando plugin discovered an error.
  • 19536: the remote commando plugin discovered an error.
  • 19537: the remote commando plugin said we weren't authorized.

It can also fail if the peer does not respond, in which case it will simply
hang awaiting a response.

AUTHOR

Rusty Russell <[email protected]> wrote the original Python
commando.py plugin, the in-tree commando plugin, and this manual page.

Christian Decker came up with the name "commando", which almost
excuses his previous adoption of the name "Eltoo".
