listconfigs [config]
config (optional) is a configuration option name to restrict return.
The listconfigs RPC command to list all configuration options, or with config only one.
The returned values reflect the current configuration, including
showing default values (dev-
options are not shown unless specified as config explicitly).
Note: as plugins can add options, not all configuration settings are listed here! The format of each entry is as follows:
- source (string): source of configuration setting (
file
:linenum
) - dynamic (boolean, optional): true if this option is settable via setconfig
- plugin (string, optional): set if this is from a plugin
Depending on the option type, exactly one of the following is present:
- set (boolean, optional): for simple flag options
- value_str (string, optional): for string options
- value_msat (msat, optional): for msat options
- value_int (integer, optional): for integer options
- value_bool (boolean, optional): for boolean options

}
On success, an object is returned, containing:
