💅 taler-auditor-httpd — like, the whole manual, bestie

okay so this is the taler-auditor-httpd(1) page from the GNU Taler manual set, and honestly? it's giving "small page, big job." let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

taler-auditor-httpd — an HTTP server that serves up a RESTful API so you can talk to a Taler auditor 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

taler-auditor-httpd [-C | --connection-close]
[-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-h | --help]
[-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL] [-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME]
[-t SECONDS | --timeoutSECONDS] [-v | --version]

literally just copy that, don't retype it, i'm begging 😭

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

taler-auditor-httpd is a command-line tool that runs the Taler auditor (the HTTP backend, iykyk). 🫶

important vibe check: the required configuration and the database have to already exist before you run this command. it does not manifest them out of thin air, no cap. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -C | --connection-close — forces every single HTTP connection to close after each request. super useful when you pair it with -f so you don't have to sit there waiting for nc to time out 💀
  • -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME — tells the auditor to use the configuration and other resources from FILENAME. that's where it operates from, periodt.
  • -h | --help — prints short help on options. the classic "wait what were the flags again" button 🙈
  • -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — sets the log level. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. (those exact four, bestie, don't get creative)
  • -l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME — sends the logging output to FILENAME instead of wherever it was going before 🍓
  • -t SECONDS | --timeout=SECONDS — specifies the number of SECONDS after which the HTTPD should close (idle) HTTP connections. yes, idle ones. it's not ghosting you, it's just setting a boundary ⭐
  • -v | --version — prints version information. iconic, brief, does exactly what it says 🔥

🧚 SIGNALS 🧚

  • SIGTERM — sending a SIGTERM to the process will cause it to shut down cleanly. like, gracefully. no drama. we love a clean exit 💜
