LIGHTNING-WAITBLOCKHEIGHT(7)			  LIGHTNING-WAITBLOCKHEIGHT(7)

NAME
       waitblockheight -- Command for waiting for blocks on the	blockchain

SYNOPSIS
       waitblockheight blockheight [timeout]

DESCRIPTION
       The  waitblockheight RPC	command	waits until the	blockchain has reached
       the specified blockheight.

         blockheight (u32): Current blockheight  of  the  blockchain  if  the
	  value	 is greater than this number. If it is a present or past block
	  height, then the command returns immediately.
         timeout (u32,	optional): Only	wait up	to specified seconds. The  de-
	  fault	is 60 seconds.

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

         blockheight  (u32): The current block	height (>= blockheight parame-
	  ter).

       If timeout seconds is reached without the specified  blockheight	 being
       reached,	this command will fail with a code of 2000.

ERRORS
       The following error codes may occur:

         2000:	Timed out.

EXAMPLES
       Example	1:  This will return immediately since the current blockheight
       exceeds the requested waitblockheight.

       Request:

       $ lightning-cli waitblockheight -k "blockheight"=126

       {
	 "id": "example:waitblockheight#1",
	 "method": "waitblockheight",
	 "params": {
	   "blockheight": 126
	 }
       }

       Response:

       {
	 "blockheight":	130
       }

       Example 2: This will return after the next block	is mined  because  re-
       quested	waitblockheight	 is  one  block	higher than the	current	block-
       height.

       Request:

       $ lightning-cli waitblockheight -k "blockheight"=131 "timeout"=600

       {
	 "id": "example:waitblockheight#2",
	 "method": "waitblockheight",
	 "params": {
	   "blockheight": 131,
	   "timeout": 600
	 }
       }

       Response:

       {
	 "blockheight":	131
       }
