getroute
    Show route to {id} for {msatoshi}, using {riskfactor} and optional {cltv} (default 9). If specified search from {fromid} otherwise use this node as source. Randomize the route with up to {fuzzpercent} (0.0 -> 100.0, default 5.0) using {seed} as an arbitrary-size string seed.

listchannels
    Show channel {short_channel_id} (or all known channels, if no {short_channel_id})

invoice

waitsendpay
    Wait for payment attempt on {payment_hash} to succeed or fail, but only up to {timeout} seconds.

listpayments
    Show outgoing payments

pay
    Send payment specified by {bolt11} with optional {msatoshi} (if and only if {bolt11} does not have amount), {description} (required if {bolt11} uses description hash), {riskfactor} (default 1.0), {maxfeepercent} (default 0.5) the maximum acceptable fee as a percentage (e.g. 0.5 => 0.5%), {exemptfee} (default 5000 msat) disables the maxfeepercent check for fees below the threshold, {retry_for} (default 60) the integer number of seconds before we stop retrying, and {maxdelay} (default 500) the maximum number of blocks we allow the funds to possibly get locked
