NAME
       lightning-decodepay -- Command for decoding a bolt11 string (low-level)

SYNOPSIS
       decodepay bolt11	[description]

DESCRIPTION
       Command added in	v23.05.

       WARNING:	deprecated: use	decode which also handles bolt12.

       The  decodepay  RPC command checks and parses a bolt11 string as	speci-
       fied by the BOLT	11 specification.

         bolt11 (string): Bolt11 invoice to decode.
         description (string, optional): Description of the  invoice  to  de-
	  code.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, an object is	returned, containing:

         currency (string): The BIP173	name for the currency.
         created_at (u64): The	UNIX-style timestamp of	the invoice.
         expiry (u64):	The number of seconds this is valid after timestamp.
         payee	(pubkey): The public key of the	recipient.
         payment_hash (hash): The hash	of the payment_preimage.
         signature (signature): Signature of the payee	on this	invoice.
         min_final_cltv_expiry	 (u32):	 The  minimum CLTV delay for the final
	  node.
         amount_msat (msat, optional):	Amount the invoice asked for.
         description (string, optional): The description of  the  purpose  of
	  the purchase.
         description_hash  (hash,  optional): The hash	of the description, in
	  place	of description.
         payment_secret (hash,	optional): The secret to  hand	to  the	 payee
	  node.
         features (hex, optional): The	features bitmap	for this invoice.
         payment_metadata (hex, optional): The	payment_metadata to put	in the
	  payment.
         fallbacks (array of objects, optional): Onchain addresses.:

	    type   (string)  (one  of	"P2PKH",  "P2SH",  "P2WPKH",  "P2WSH",
	     "P2TR"): The address type (if known).
	    hex (hex):	Raw encoded address.
	    addr (string, optional): The address in  appropriate  format  for
	     type.
         routes (array	of arrays, optional): Route hints to the payee.:

	    (array of objects): Hops in the route.
	    pubkey (pubkey): The public key of	the node.
	    short_channel_id (short_channel_id): A channel to the next	peer.
	    fee_base_msat (msat): The base fee	for payments.
	    fee_proportional_millionths  (u32): The parts-per-million fee for
	     payments.
	    cltv_expiry_delta (u32): The CLTV delta across this hop.
         extra	(array of objects, optional): Any extra	fields we didn't  know
	  how to parse.:

	    tag (string) (always 1 characters): The bech32 letter which iden-
	     tifies this field.
	    data (string): The	bech32 data for	this field.

       Technically,  the  description  field is	optional if a description_hash
       field is	given, but in this case	decodepay will only succeed if the op-
       tional description field	is passed and matches the description_hash. In
       practice, these are currently unused.
