## chantools rescueclosed
Try finding the private keys for funds that are in outputs of remotely force-closed channels
### Synopsis
If channels have already been force-closed by the remote
peer, this command tries to find the private keys to sweep the funds from the
output that belongs to our side. This can only be used if we have a channel DB
that contains the latest commit point. Normally you would use SCB to get the
funds from those channels. But this method can help if the other node doesn't
know about the channels any more but we still have the channel.db from the
moment they force-closed.
