lightning-recoverchannel -- Command for recovering channels bundeled in an array in the form of Static Backup

SYNOPSIS

recoverchannel scb

DESCRIPTION

The recoverchannel RPC command tries to force the peer (with whom you already had a channel) to close the channel and sweeps on-chain fund. This method is not spontaneous and depends on the peer, so use it in case of severe data loss.

The scb parameter is an array containing minimum required info to reconnect and sweep funds. You can get the scb for already stored channels by using the RPC command 'staticbackup'.

scb (array of hexs): SCB of the channels in an array.:
- (hex, optional)

RETURN VALUE

On success, an object is returned, containing:

stubs (array of strings):
- (string, optional): Channel IDs of channels successfully inserted.
