NAME
     emergencyrecover  -- Command for recovering channels from the emergency.re-
     covery file in the lightning directory

SYNOPSIS
     emergencyrecover

DESCRIPTION
     The emergencyrecover RPC command fetches data  from  the  emergency.recover
     file and tries to reconnect to the peer and force him to close the channel.
     The  data	in  this  file has enough information to reconnect and sweep the
     funds.

     This recovery method is not spontaneous and it depends on the peer,  so  it
     should be used as a last resort to recover the funds stored in a channel in
     case of severe data loss.

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

     *	stubs (array of hashs):
	*  (hash, optional): Channel IDs of channels successfully inserted.
