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

NAME
       lightning-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
       }
