+===============================
+lightning-plugin - Manage plugins with RPC
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+**plugin** command \[parameter\] \[second\_parameter\]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The **plugin** RPC command allows to manage plugins without having to
+restart lightningd. It takes 1 to 3 parameters: a command
+(start/stop/startdir/rescan/list) which describes the action to take and
+optionally one or two parameters which describes the plugin on which the
+action has to be taken.
+
+The *start* command takes a path as parameter and will load the plugin
+available from this path.
+
+The *stop* command takes a plugin name as parameter and will kill and
+unload the specified plugin.
+
+The *startdir* command takes a directory path as parameter and will load
+all plugins this directory contains.
+
+The *rescan* command starts all not-already-loaded plugins from the
+default plugins directory (by default *~/.lightning/plugins*).
+
+The *list* command will return all the active plugins.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+
+On success, this returns an array *plugins* of objects, one by plugin.
+Each object contains the name of the plugin (*name* field) and its
+status (*active* boolean field). Since plugins are configured
+asynchronously, a freshly started plugin may not appear immediately.
