GNUCASH(1) GnuCash Manual Pages GNUCASH(1) NAME gnucash-cli - command line tool to go with GnuCash SYNOPSIS gnucash-cli [options] [ accounts.gnucash ] DESCRIPTION gnucash-cli enables certain intraction with a gnucash datafile directly from the command line. It has two modes: quotes mode and report mode. Quotes Mode (activated with --quotes <cmd>) This mode has options to get online quotes for foreign currencies and stocks in the given data file. It supports the following command: info Shows Finance::Quote version and exposed quote sources. get Retrieves online quotes. Note this requires Finance::Quote to be properly configured for your system. The get command takes the following options: --namespace=REGEXP Regular expression determining which namespace commodities will be retrieved. dump Fetches current quotes for specified currencies or stocks from a specified namespace and print the results to the console. This must be followed with a source and one or more symbols, unless the source is "currency" in which case it must be followed with two or more symbols, the first of which is the currency in which exchange rates for the rest will be quoted. The dump command takes the option -v --verbose Lists all of the parameters Finance::Quote returns for the symbol instead of only the ones that Gnucash requires. Report Mode (activated with --report <cmd>) This mode has options to work with reports in the given data file. It sup- ports the following command: run Runs a report on the given data file. The run command takes the following options: --name=REPORT_NAME Name of the report to run --export-type=TYPE Specify export type General Options --version Show GnuCash version --help Show this help message --debugEnable debugging mode: increasing logging to provide deep detail. --extraEnable extra/development/debugging features. --log Log level overrides, of the form "log.ger.path={de- bug,info,warn,crit,error}" This option can be specified multiple times. --logtoFile to log into; defaults to "$TMPDIR/gnucash.trace"; use "stderr" or "stdout" to write to the terminal.
