lncli pendingchannels output: difference between `pending_closing_channels` and `waiting_close_channels`

1

When plotting lncli pendingchannels, two of the outputs are oddly similar:

pending_closing_channels and waiting_close_channels. I have only seen my closed channels either as the output closedchannels or as waiting_close_channels. I suppose pending_closing_channels refer to the step previous of negotiation for cooperative close? or is it after, during the amount of confirmations needed to wait?

Found an answer for this by asking the slack community:

  • pending_closing_channels: waiting for confirmation blockheight after cooperative closing and publishing on the blockchain (standard case)
  • waiting_close_channels: closing request being processed
  • 'pending_force_closing_channels': waiting for confirmation blockheight of unilaterally closing the channel (Commitment Transaction)
