TALER-MERCHANT-WEBHOOK(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so <rainbow>taler-merchant-webhook</rainbow> — it's the command-line tool that fires off the webhooks your Taler merchant backend has scheduled. it's like, an optional service, bestie, not a mandatory one. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so <pink>taler-merchant-webhook</pink> is this command-line tool whose whole job is triggering the webhooks that a Taler merchant backend scheduled. it goes and makes all the necessary HTTP requests, and then it updates the Taler merchant database accordingly. that's the whole vibe. main character energy, honestly. 💅

---

🎀 its options (all of them, no cap) 🎀

okay so the options are literally as follows:

• -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to operate from FILENAME. 🗂️
• -h | --help — print short help on options. short and sweet, we love that.
• -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. pick your fighter. ⭐
• -l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME. bye bye terminal spam, hello file. 🧚
• -T USEC | --timetravel=USEC — modify the system time by USEC microseconds. USEC may be prefixed with + or - (e.g. -T +300). ⏰✨

okay so real talk: this option is intended for debugging/testing only. it is NOT a cute little toy for production. noted. 💀

• -t | --test — run in test mode. only runs until there are no more webhooks to be executed. it literally just keeps going until the queue is empty and then dips. 🙈
• -v | –version — print version information. iykyk. 👑
