💸 TALER-EXCHANGE-WIREWATCH 💸

okay bestie, so you found the taler-exchange-wirewatch(1) page in the GNU Taler section of the manual — and honestly? she's a little workhorse and I'm obsessed. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

taler-exchange-wirewatch — the girl who watches for incoming wire transfers 👀💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

taler-exchange-wirewatch [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME]
[-h | --help] [-I**_|_--ignore-not-found**]
[-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL] [-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME]
[-r | --reset] [-T | --test] [-t PLUGINNAME | --type=PLUGINNAME]
[-v | --version]
ngl the synopsis and the option list below are lowkey not matching up (we do not fix, we just report 🤭) — read both, and the option list is the one with the details.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

taler-exchange-wirewatch is a command-line tool that imports wire transactions into the Taler exchange database. that's it, that's her job, and she does it flawlessly ✨

okay so here's the option menu, bestie — every single one, no skips:

  • -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the exchange to operate from FILENAME. like, everything she needs to function lives in that file 🎀
  • -f DELAY | --longpoll-timeout=DELAY — how long do we wait for a response for bank transactions from the bank? this is both the timeout for the long polling and the maximum frequency at which we would query the bank. specify it with a unit (e.g. 30s, 1d, 2w), and if you give no unit the number is interpreted in microseconds. default is 60s ⏳
  • -h | --help — print short help on options 🫶
  • -I | --ignore-not-found — do NOT fail if the bank says the exchange bank account does not (yet) exist. just keep trying, she's patient like that 💪
  • -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR 🗣️
  • -l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME 📝
  • -r | --reset — ignore our own database and start with transactions from the beginning of time ⏪✨ iconic, dramatic, a little risky, we love her
  • -T USEC | --timetravel=USEC — modify the system time by USEC microseconds. USEC may be prefixed with + or - (e.g. -T +300). ⚠️ this option is intended for debugging/testing only — do not be out here time travelling in prod, bestie 😭
  • -t | --test — run in test mode and exit when idle 🧪
  • -v | --version — print version information 🌈
