+LIGHTNING-CLI(1) Manual Page
+============================
+lightning-cli - Control lightning daemon
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+**lightning-cli** \[*OPTIONS*\] *command*…
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+**lightning-cli** sends commands to the lightning daemon.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+ **--lightning-dir**=*DIR*
+Set the directory for the lightning daemon we’re talking to; defaults to
+*$HOME/.lightning*.
+
+ **--rpc-file**=*FILE*
+Named pipe to use to talk to lightning daemon: default is
+*lightning-rpc* in the lightning directory.
+
+ **--keywords**/**-k**
+Use format *key*=*value* for parameters in any order
+
+ **--order**/**-o**
+Follow strictly the order of parameters for the command
+
+ **--json**/**-J**
+Return result in JSON format (default unless *help* command)
+
+ **--raw**/**-R**
+Return raw JSON directly as lightningd replies
+
+ **--human-readable**/**-H**
+Return result in human-readable output (default for *help* command)
+
+ **--help**/**-h**
+Print summary of options to standard output and exit.
+
+ **--version**/**-V**
+Print version number to standard output and exit.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+*lightning-cli* simply uses the JSON RPC interface to talk to
+*lightningd*, and prints the results. Thus the commands available depend
+entirely on the lightning daemon itself.
+
+ARGUMENTS
+---------
+
+Arguments may be provided positionally or using *key*=*value* after the
+command name, based on either **-o** or **-k** option. Arguments may be
+integer numbers (composed entirely of digits), floating-point numbers
+(has a radix point but otherwise composed of digits), *true*, *false*,
+or *null*. Other arguments are treated as strings.
+
+Some commands have optional arguments. You may use *null* to skip
+optional arguments to provide later arguments.

+BUGS
+----
+
+This manpage documents how it should work, not how it does work. The
+pretty printing of results isn’t pretty.
