💅 TALER-EXCHANGE-EXPIRE(1) ✨

okay so this is a page from the GNU Taler manual, bestie, and it's literally all about taler-exchange-expire. buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

taler-exchange-expire — refund expired purses, no cap 💸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

taler-exchange-expire [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-h | --help]
[-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL] [-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME]
[-T USEC | --timetravel=USEC] [-t | --test] [-v | --version]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so taler-exchange-expire is this command-line tool, right, and what it does is run refund money in purses that were not merged before their expiration time. yeah. and the reason that's iconic is that it lets the wallet recover the funds deposited into the purse using a refresh operation 🫶 lowkey the whole point.

here's the full rundown of every single flag, because we don't skip:

  • -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the exchange to operate from FILENAME. like, that's where it gets its whole setup from 💖
  • -h, --help — print short help on options. short king behavior 👑
  • -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. the accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. pick your vibe 🌈
  • -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME. bye bye stdout, hello file 🍓
  • -T USEC, --timetravel=USEC — modify the system time by USEC microseconds. and USEC may be prefixed with + or - (e.g. -T +300). ⚠️ this option is intended for debugging/testing only — do not be out here time-traveling in prod, i'm begging 🙈
  • -t, --test — run in test mode and exit when idle. it does its thing and dips 💀
  • -v, --version — print version information. slay, tell me who you are 💅
