💅 TALER-EXCHANGE-TRANSFER(1)

okay so bestie, welcome to the GNU Taler corner of the universe — this page is taler-exchange-transfer from the GNU Taler manual suite, and it's genuinely the glow-up moment of the whole payment pipeline. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

taler-exchange-transfer — literally the tool that goes and executes wire transfers. it's the one who actually does the thing 💸

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like, that's the whole vibe in one block. flags on flags on flags 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so taler-exchange-transfer is a command-line tool that actually executes the scheduled wire transfers — using the bank / wire gateway, no cap. it's not the one planning the transfers, it's the one doing them, bestie. the preparation work is handled by taler-exchange-aggregator and taler-exchange-closer, and this icon picks up the baton and runs with it 🏃‍♀️✨

here's every single flag, and yes we're going through all of them:

  • -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the exchange to operate from FILENAME. it's giving "here's my whole setup, take it" 💼
  • -h, --help — print short help on options. the little "help me help you" moment 😌
  • -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. pick your chaos level 🔥
  • -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME. all the receipts go in one file, iykyk 📝
  • -T USEC, --timetravel=USEC — modify the system time by USEC microseconds. USEC may be prefixed with + or - (e.g. -T +300). and bestie, listen — this option is intended for debugging/testing only. it is literally time travel, please do not use it in prod 🙈
  • -t, --test — run in test mode and exit when idle. it does its little tasks and then clocks out, main character energy 💅
  • -v, --version — print version information. the classic "who am i" ✨

real talk: -T / --timetravel is for debugging and testing only — it messes with the system time, so keep it out of your actual production vibe check ⚠️

and that's the page, periodt 💜 this beauty is version 1.0, dated Dec 22, 2025, brought to you by the GNU Taler girlies — go execute some wire transfers responsibly, mwah 🎀🧚‍♀️
