💖 TALER-MDB-SHOW.SH(1) 💖

okay so this is the taler-mdb-show.sh page from the GNU Taler manual, and honestly? it's a little cutie. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

taler-mdb-show.sh — the girl whose whole job is rendering informational status images on vending machines' displays 💅 like she's literally the face of the machine, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

taler-mdb-show.sh [-c FILENAME] [-h] [ERRORCODE]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

taler-mdb-show.sh is a command-line tool to render errors. yes bestie, that is genuinely the entire personality — she renders errors, and she does it iconically. ✨

Its options are as follows:

  • -c FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the command to operate from FILENAME. like, this is where you tell her where to live and what to read. 🏠
  • -h — print short help on options. the "wait what am i doing" button, love that for you. 🫶

To render an error, call taler-mdb-show.sh with an error code. The error code should be the filename of one of the files in "$PREFIX/share/taler/mdb/" but without the ".png" extension. 🔥 so like, the file is sitting there with its .png on in that directory, and you just call her with the name minus the extension. iykyk. ⭐
