Using AbandonChannel, a channel can be abandoned. This means
removing all state without any on-chain or off-chain action.
A close summary is the only thing that is stored in the db after
abandoning.
A specific close type Abandoned is added. Abandoned channels
can be retrieved via the ClosedChannels RPC.
In this commit, we ensure that we're able to properly parse the cert and
macaroon paths for all relevant config variants. Before this commit, it
would be the case that the macaroon path ended up empty if a user wasn't
running the default (mainnet, lnddir) settings. In this commit, we
remedy this by parsing each of the two (cert+macaroon) paths
independently.
Since we're now able to create a base LND directory that no longer lives
under the OS specific application data directory, we modify
cleanAndExpandPath to replace the `~` in a path to the current user's
home directory, rather than the user's application data directory.
In this commit, we introduce a new flag `--lnddir` that allows us to
set a different base directory, other than the OS specific application
data directory, for all related lnd files and directories.
In this commit, we add a new closeallchannels command to lncli. This
command allows us to close all existing active and inactive channels
by closing them cooperatively or unilaterally, respectively.
This commit reworks the macaroon authentication framework to use the
v2 macaroon format and bakery API. It also replaces the code in each
RPC method which calls the macaroon verifier with interceptors which
call the macaroon verifier instead. In addition, the operation
permissions are reworked to fit the new format of "allow" commands
(specifically, entity/operation permissions instead of method
permissions).
Early in the lifetime of the project here were a few files we either
copied entirely, or used as the basis for code within lnd. Before this
PR, this was not recognized by retaining the original copyright. With
this commit, we remedy that by explicitly noting the copyright in the
relevant files.
Fixes#423.
lncli create:
This command is used to set up a wallet encryption password for
use with lnd at first time use. It will ask fot the user to
confirm the chosen password, then do a call to the lnd RPC method
CreateWallet with the chosen password.
lncli unlock:
This command is used to unlock the wallet of a running lnd instance.
It calls the RPC method UnlockWallet with the provided password.
Both methods makes use of the terminal.ReadPassword method, to
securely read a password from user input without making it
replayable in the terminal.
This commit adds simple non-blocking stop command to lncli, with an
appropriate proto update and implementation within the rpcserver. When
invoked the interrupt handler routine in signal.go with begin the graceful
shutdown of lnd.
This commit implements the newly added RPC to decode payment requests
passed over the command line or directly via gRPC.
With this tool, users can now examine payment requests they see in the
wild for diagnostic or debugging purposes.
