🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

taler-helper-auditor-reserves is a command-line tool to audit Taler exchange reserve handling. no cap, that's what it does. 🫶

FIXME: More detail.

(yes, the docs really do just say that. the manpage itself is giving "i'll finish my essay later" energy 😭 we respect the honesty tho.)

🌸 its options are as follows 🌸

• -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the auditor to operate from FILENAME. like, that's where it gets its whole setup from 💅
• -h | --help — print short help on options. quick lil rundown, in and out 🎀
• -i | --internal — perform checks only applicable for exchange-internal audits. this one's for the inside jobs, iykyk 🔥
• -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. pick your volume, bestie 🎚️
• -l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME. everything goes in the journal, periodt 📓
• -m KEY | --exchange-key=KEY — use KEY (Crockford base32 encoded) as the public key of the exchange. note the encoding, bestie, Crockford base32, exactly that 🔑✨
• -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. so like, it's a little time machine, but only for debugging and testing, don't be weird about it ⏰

⚠️ real talk on -T: it messes with the system time, and it's for debugging/testing only — that's straight from the page, not me being dramatic (ok maybe a lil dramatic) 💀

• -v | --version — print version information. the classic. the icon 🌈
