Expand description

Events are returned from various bits in the library which indicate some action must be taken by the client.

Because we don’t have a built-in runtime, it’s up to the client to call events at a time in the future, as well as generate and broadcast funding transactions handle payment preimages and a few other things.

Enums

The reason the channel was closed. See individual variants more details.

An Event which you should probably take some action in response to.

Intended destination of a failed HTLC as indicated in Event::HTLCHandlingFailed.

An event generated by ChannelManager which indicates a message should be sent to a peer (or broadcast to most peers). These events are handled by PeerManager::process_events if you are using a PeerManager.

Some information provided on receipt of payment depends on whether the payment received is a spontaneous payment or a “conventional” lightning payment that’s paying an invoice.
