💅 TALER-MERCHANT-KYCCHECK(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the GNU Taler manual, and today's main character is taler-merchant-kyccheck. literally the little background worker that goes and asks the exchange what's up. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

taler-merchant-kyccheck — the tool that goes and asks the exchange about the KYC status of the merchant's various bank accounts 💳

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so taler-merchant-kyccheck is a background job, right? and what it does is ask the exchange about the KYC status (plus the associated exposed limits, not just the status, the limits too 👀) of the merchant backend's various bank accounts. then all that juicy info can be pulled out via the /kyc-status endpoint. iconic.

this tool is part of a whole set of processes that let a merchant backend make sure it can properly interact with an exchange. team player energy fr fr 💜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

its options are as follows, bestie:

  • -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to operate from FILENAME.
  • -h, --help — print short help on options. the "help me help you" button 🎀
  • -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.
  • -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, no cap 🕰️
fr fr, -T is a debugging/testing thing only — don't be out here time-travelling in production, bestie 😭
  • -t, --test — run in test mode. only runs until the current list of bank transactions have all been checked.
  • -v, –version — print version information.
