+=======================
+:doctype: manpage
+
+NAME
+----
+lightning-disconnect - Command for disconnecting from another lightning node.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*disconnect* 'id'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The disconnect RPC command closes an existing connection to a
+peer, identified by 'id', in the Lightning Network, as long as it
+doesn't have an active channel.
+
+The 'id' can be discovered in the output of the listpeers
+command, which returns a set of peers:
+
+            {
+                 "peers": [
+                      {
+                           "id": "0563aea81...",
+                           "connected": true,
+                           ...
+                      }
+                 ]
+            }
+
+Passing the 'id' attribute of a peer to 'disconnect' will terminate
+the connection.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+On success, an empty object is returned.
+
+ERRORS
+------
+If 'id' is invalid, an error message will be returned:
+
+     { "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer not connected" }
