.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBtaler\-merchant\-benchmark\fP is a command line tool to populate your merchant database with fake Taler\-style payments.

.SH SUBCOMMAND
.B
.SS ordinary
Generate normal payments: all the payments are performed (by the default instance) and aggregated by the exchange.
Takes the following options.

.B
.IP "\-p PN,  \-\-payments\-number=PN"
Perform PN many payments, defaults to 1.

.B
.IP "\-t TN,  \-\-tracks\-number=TN"
Perform TN many tracking operations, defaults to 1.

.B
.SS 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.

.B
.IP "\-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.

.B
.IP "\-i AI, \-\-alt\-instance=AI"
Use AI as the instance, instead of 'default' (which is the default instance used.)

.B
.IP "\-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.
