.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBtaler\-merchant\-httpd\fP is a command\-line tool to run the Taler merchant
(HTTP backend).  The required configuration and database must exist
before running this command.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
\fB\-a\fP \fITOKEN\fP | \fB–auth=\fP\fITOKEN\fP
Use TOKEN for initial access control to the merchant backend. TOKEN must start with the “secret\-token:” prefix, as per RFC 8959.  The value
given in TOKEN must appear in backoffice requests to the default instance
of the merchant, i.e. “Authorization: Bearer TOKEN” to obtain
access to the merchant backend.  Note that setting a passphrase for the
default instance by any means will block future access via TOKEN.  This
is basically a way to reset the passphrase protecting access.  TOKEN
should be a “pchar” as per RFC 8959, but this is NOT checked.  Note that
TOKEN will only grant access to the ‘default’ instance, not other instances.
Instead of using the command\-line, which exposes TOKEN to users on the
system, you may want to consider setting the
TALER_MERCHANT_TOKEN environment variable instead.
.TP
\fB\-C\fP | \fB–connection\-close\fP
Force each HTTP connection to be closed after each request
(useful in combination with \-f to avoid having to wait for nc to
time out).
.TP
\fB\-c\fP \fIFILENAME\fP | \fB–config=\fP\fIFILENAME\fP
Use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to
operate from FILENAME.
.TP
\fB\-h\fP | \fB–help\fP
Print short help on options.
.TP
\fB\-L\fP \fILOGLEVEL\fP | \fB–loglevel=\fP‌\fILOGLEVEL\fP
Specifies the log level to use. Accepted values are: \fBDEBUG\fP, \fBINFO\fP,
\fBWARNING\fP, \fBERROR\fP\&.
.TP
\fB\-l\fP \fIFILENAME\fP | \fB–logfile=\fP‌\fIFILENAME\fP
Send logging output to \fIFILENAME\fP\&.
.TP
\fB\-T\fP \fIUSEC\fP | \fB–timetravel=\fP\fIUSEC\fP
Modify the system time by \fIUSEC\fP microseconds.
\fIUSEC\fP may be prefixed with \fB+\fP or \fB\-\fP (e.g. \fB\-T +300\fP).
This option is intended for debugging/testing only.
.TP
\fB\-v\fP | \fB–version\fP
Print version information.
