lightning-datastore -- Command for storing (plugin) data
========================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**datastore** *key* [*string*] [*hex*] [*mode*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **datastore** RPC command allows plugins to store data in the
c-lightning database, for later retrieval.
There can only be one entry for each *key*, so prefixing with the
plugin name (e.g. `summary.`) is recommended.
*mode* is one of "must-create" (default, fails it it already exists),
"must-replace" (fails it it doesn't already exist),
"create-or-replace" (never fails), "must-append" (must already exist,
append this to what's already there) or "create-or-append" (append if
anything is there, otherwise create).
RETURN VALUE
------------
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START)
On success, an object is returned, containing:
- **key** (string): The key which has been added to the datastore
- **hex** (hex): The hex data which has been added to the datastore
- **string** (string, optional): The data as a string, if it's valid utf-8
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-END)
The main cause of failure is an already-existing entry.
The following error codes may occur:
- -32602: invalid parameters, including already-existing/not-existing key.
