lightning-listconfigs -- Command to list all configuration options.

SYNOPSIS

listconfigs [config]

DESCRIPTION

config (optional) is a configuration option name to restrict return.

The listconfigs RPC command to list all configuration options, or with config only one.

The returned values reflect the current configuration, including
showing default values (dev- options are not shown unless specified as config explicitly).

Note: as plugins can add options, not all configuration settings are
listed here! The format of each entry is as follows:

source (string): source of configuration setting (file:linenum)
dynamic (boolean, optional): true if this option is settable via setconfig
plugin (string, optional): set if this is from a plugin

Depending on the option type, exactly one of the following is present:

set (boolean, optional): for simple flag options
value_str (string, optional): for string options
value_msat (msat, optional): for msat options
value_int (integer, optional): for integer options
value_bool (boolean, optional): for boolean options

EXAMPLE JSON REQUEST

{
  "id": 82,
  "method": "listconfigs",
  "params": {
    "config": "network"
  }
}
