"Indices can go forward by more than one; in particular, if multiple objects were created and the one deleted, you could see this effect (a channel closing will delete all the htlcs, for example). You can also see if it changes happen more rapidly than you can call wait again.",

"usage": [
"The **wait** RPC is used to track changes in the system. Consider tracking invoices being paid or expiring.",
"",
"The simplest (and inefficient method) would be:",
"",
"1: Call `listinvoices` to get the current state of all invoices, and remember the highest `updated_index`. Say it was 5.",
"",
"2: Call `wait invoices updated 6`.",
"",
"3: When it returns, call `listinvoices` again to see what changed.",
"",
"This is obviously inefficient, so there are two optimizations:",
"",
"1: Call `listinvoices` with `index=updated` and `start=6` to only see invoices with `updated_index` greater than or equal to 6.",
"",
"2: `wait` itself may also return some limited subset of fields from the list command (it can't do this in all cases); for `invoices` this is `label` and `status`, allowing many callers to avoid the `listinvoices` call."

"errors": [
