+  **taler-merchant-benchmark** - generate Taler-style benchmarking payments
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+**taler-merchant-benchmark** [*subcommand*] [*options*]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**taler-merchant-benchmark** is a command line tool to populate your
+merchant database with payments for benchmarking.
+
+
+Subcommands
+===========
+
+ordinary
+       Generate normal payments: all the payments are performed (by the
+       default instance) and aggregated by the exchange.  Takes the following
+       options.
+
+       -p PN, --payments-number=PN
+              Perform PN many payments, defaults to 1.
+
+
+       -t TN, --tracks-number=TN
+              Perform TN many tracking operations, defaults to 1.
+
+
+corner
+       Drive the generator to create unusual situations, like for example
+       leaving payments unaggregated, or using a non-default merchant
+       instance.  Takes the following options.
+
+
+       -t TC, --two-coins=TC
+              Perform TC many payments that use two coins (normally, all the
+              payments use only one coin).  TC defaults to 1.
+
+
+       -i AI, --alt-instance=AI
+              Use AI as the instance, instead of 'default' (which is the
+              default instance used.)
+
+
+       -u UN, --unaggregated-number=UN
+              Generate UN payments that will be left unaggregated.  Note that
+              subsequent invocations of the generator may pick those
+              unaggregated payments and actually aggregated them.
+
+
+
+Common Options
+==============
+
+-k K, --currency=K
+       Use currency K, mandatory.
+
+
+-m URL, --merchant-url=URL
+       Use URL as the merchant base URL during the benchmark.  The URL
+       is mainly used to download and pay for contracts.  Mandatory.
+
+
+-b URL, --bank-url=URL
+       Use URL as the bank's base URL during the benchmark.  The URL is
+       used to test whether the bank is up and running.  Mandatory.
+
+-c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME
+       Use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to
+       operate from FILENAME.
+
+-h, --help
+       Print short help on options.
+
+-v, --version
+       Print version information.
