💖 TALER-MERCHANT-RECONCILIATION(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the taler-merchant-reconciliation glow-up ✨ this is a page from the GNU Taler manual set, and honestly? it's lowkey a baddie once you get to know her. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

taler-merchant-reconciliation — ask the exchange which deposits were aggregated for a particular wire transfer that credited a merchant account 👑

(like literally, she just goes and asks. iconic behavior.)

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

taler-merchant-reconciliation [-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-reconciliation is a background job — yes, she works behind the scenes, main character energy but make it humble 💅 — and what she does is reconcile wire transfers that credit the merchant's bank account with the respective contracts that have been paid. how? by asking the exchange to provide a list of all deposits that were aggregated into a wire transfer. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🎀

the tool is part of a set of processes that allow a merchant backend to validate that the exchange paid the merchant correctly. ngl, she's on the team that keeps everyone honest ✨

its options are as follows:

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to operate from FILENAME. 🗂️
  • -h, --help — print short help on options. your lil "what do i do" moment 🙈
  • -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. choose your chat level bestie 🔥
  • -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 — like literally do not use this in prod, she's just here for the vibes 💀
girl time travel?? in MY unix tool?? it's more likely than you think. but for real: debugging/testing only. no cap.
  • -t, --test — run in test mode. only runs until the current list of bank transactions have all been checked. 🧪
  • -v, –version — print version information. say hi, get a number ⭐
