NAME
       lightning-waitsendpay --	Command	for sending a payment via a route

SYNOPSIS
       waitsendpay payment_hash	[timeout] [partid groupid]

DESCRIPTION
       The  waitsendpay	RPC command polls or waits for the status of an	outgo-
       ing payment that	was initiated by a previous sendpay invocation.

       If the payment completed	with success, this command returns  with  suc-
       cess.  Otherwise,  if  the payment completed with failure, this command
       returns an error.

         payment_hash (hash): The hash	of the payment_preimage.
         timeout (u32,	optional): A timeout in	seconds, for this RPC  command
	  to  return.  If the timeout is provided and the given	amount of time
	  passes without the payment definitely	succeeding or definitely fail-
	  ing, this command returns with a 200 error code  (payment  still  in
	  progress).  If  timeout  is not provided this	call will wait indefi-
	  nitely. Indicating a timeout of 0 effectively	makes this call	a pol-
	  lable	query of the status of the payment.
         partid (u64, optional): Unique ID within this	(multi-part)  payment.
	  It must match	that of	the sendpay command.
         groupid  (u64,  optional): Grouping key to disambiguate multiple at-
	  tempts to pay	the same payment_hash.

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

         created_index	(u64): 1-based index indicating	order this payment was
	  created in. (added v23.11)
         id (u64): Old	synonym	for created_index.
         payment_hash (hash): The hash	of  the	 payment_preimage  which  will
	  prove	payment.
         status (string) (always "complete"): Status of the payment.
         created_at  (u64):  The UNIX timestamp showing when this payment was
	  initiated.
         amount_sent_msat (msat): The amount sent.
         groupid (u64,	optional): Grouping key	to disambiguate	 multiple  at-
	  tempts to pay	an invoice or the same payment_hash.
         amount_msat  (msat,  optional):  The amount delivered	to destination
	  (if known).
         destination (pubkey, optional): The final destination	of the payment
	  if known.
         updated_index	(u64, optional): 1-based index indicating  order  this
	  payment was changed (only present if it has changed since creation).
	  (added v23.11)
         completed_at	(number,  optional):  The  UNIX	timestamp showing when
	  this payment was completed.
         label	(string, optional): The	label, if given	to sendpay.
         partid (u64, optional): The partid, if given to sendpay.
         bolt11 (string, optional): The bolt11	string (if pay supplied	one).
         bolt12 (string, optional): The bolt12	string (if supplied for	pay).

       If status is "complete":	- payment_preimage (secret): The proof of pay-
       ment: SHA256 of this payment_hash.

ERRORS
       On error, and even if the error occurred	from a node other than the fi-
       nal destination,	the route table	will no	longer be updated. Use the ex-
       clude parameter of the getroute command to ignore the failing route.

         -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
         200: Timed out before	the payment could complete.
         202: Unparseable onion reply.	The data field of the error will  have
	  an  onionreply  field,  a hex	string representation of the raw onion
	  reply.

         203: Permanent failure at destination. The data field	of  the	 error
	  will be routing failure object.
         204: Failure along route; retry a different route. The data field of
	  the error will be routing failure object.
         208:	A payment for payment_hash was never made and there is nothing
	  to wait for.
         209: The payment already failed, but the reason for failure was  not
	  stored. This should only occur when querying failed payments on very
	  old databases.

       A routing failure object	has the	fields below:

       erring_index:  The  index of the	node along the route that reported the
       error. 0	for  the  local	 node,	1  for	the  first  hop,  and  so  on.
       erring_node:  The hex string of the pubkey id of	the node that reported
       the error.  erring_channel: The short channel ID	of  the	 channel  that
       has  the	 error (or the final channel if	the destination	raised the er-
       ror).  erring_direction:	The direction of traversing  the  erring_chan-
       nel: failcode: The failure code,	as per BOLT #4.	 failcodename: The hu-
       man-readable name corresponding to failcode, if known.
