TALER-EXCHANGE-ROUTER(1)

📦 version 1.3.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🦋 taler-exchange-router — bestie's guide to the GNU Taler manual (section 1) 🦋

okay so real quick: this is taler-exchange-router(1), like, page one of the GNU Taler manual, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 💖

✨ NAME ✨

taler-exchange-router — it routes payments to partner exchanges. that's the whole vibe, that's the assignment 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

see how it's literally just flags and a filename? no positional args, no drama, we love a low-maintenance icon ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so taler-exchange-router is a command-line tool that routes P2P payments to partner exchanges via wad transfers. and here's the thing, bestie — it is NOT YET IMPLEMENTED 😭 like, it's an icon in the making, the blueprint is gorgeous, but it does not do the thing yet. fr fr.

and why would we even need it?? picture this: wallet-to-wallet payments, but the recipient did their KYC at a different exchange than the sender. that's the plot twist nobody was ready for 🙈 and routing between them is what this tool would handle. Except — and I cannot stress this enough — this is currently not supported. 💀

so like... it's giving "coming soon" energy. noted. moving on to the flags, because those we do have:

  • -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — points the exchange at FILENAME for its configuration and other resources it needs to operate. like, that's where it lives, that's its home 🏠
  • -h, --help — prints a short lil help message about the options. the "who dis" flag 🫶
  • -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — sets the log level. the accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. pick your volume, bestie 🔊
  • -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — sends the logging output to FILENAME instead of wherever it was going before. journaling, but make it sysadmin 🎀
  • -T USEC, --timetravel=USEC — modifies the system time by USEC microseconds. USEC may be prefixed with + or - (e.g. -T +300). and like — warning bestie — this option is intended for debugging/testing only. we do not time travel in production, that's not the vibe ⏰✨
  • -t, --test — runs in test mode and exits when idle. cute, self-aware, knows when to leave the party 💅
  • -v, --version — prints version information. the "how old are you" flag 👑
