wallet: rpc: manpage: fix example missing `fee

SomberNight commented at 4:24 PM on February 11, 2026: contributor

The function signature for the send RPC is:

send [{"address":amount,...},{"data":"hex"},...] ( conf_target "estimate_mode" fee_rate options version )

The last example in the manpage is missing the fee_rate arg, but is trying to specify the options arg, by index. The parser confuses the intended options arg as the missing fee_rate arg.

See:

$ bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=doggman -rpcpassword=donkey -rpcport=18554 -regtest send '{"bcrt1qusm48zmlzwr32csxdw4ar7atw260h22c9ten9l": 0.1}' 1 economical '{"add_to_wallet": false, "inputs": [{"txid":"0b7e1a471dc948b7a6187936b16e6d7d9833629b2f9dd8a392eb89928f63aaad", "vout":0}]}'
error code: -8
error message:
Cannot specify both conf_target and fee_rate. Please provide either a confirmation target in blocks for automatic fee estimation, or an explicit fee rate.

I have replicated the described behaviour in v.30.2

$ bitcoin-cli -regtest help send
send [{"address":amount,...},{"data":"hex"},...] ( conf_target "estimate_mode" fee_rate options version )

[...]

Examples:

[...]

Create a transaction that should confirm the next block, with a specific input, and return result without adding to wallet or broadcasting to the network
bitcoin-cli send '{"bc1q09vm5lfy0j5reeulh4x5752q25uqqvz34hufdl": 0.1}' 1 economical '{"add_to_wallet": false, "inputs": [{"txid":"a08e6907dbbd3d809776dbfc5d82e371b764ed838b5655e72f463568df1aadf0", "vout":1}]}'

Using the exact syntax from the last manpage example fails:

$ bitcoin-cli -regtest send '{"bcrt1qusm48zmlzwr32csxdw4ar7atw260h22c9ten9l": 0.1}' 1 economical '{"add_to_wallet": false, "inputs": [{"txid":"f44f60ac9663cd32cdff9461dfe1446bb8ed2fd4b0d77a35683af685bb320b29", 
"vout":0}]}'
error code: -8
error message:
Cannot specify both conf_target and fee_rate. Please provide either a confirmation target in blocks for automatic fee estimation, or an explicit fee rate.

Works with adding 'null' as a placeholder for the fee_rate argument:

$ bitcoin-cli -regtest send '{"bcrt1qusm48zmlzwr32csxdw4ar7atw260h22c9ten9l": 0.1}' 1 economical null '{"add_to_wallet": false, "inputs": [{"txid":"f44f60ac9663cd32cdff9461dfe1446bb8ed2fd4b0d77a35683af685bb320b
