@ -385,38 +385,33 @@ its various reports. It will always report balances in terms of the
commodity total, rather than the current value of those commodities.
To enable pricing reports, three options are possible:
**-B** ::
Report commodities in terms of their "basis cost", or what they cost
at the time of purchase. Totals in the register and balance report
reflect the total amount spent.
**-L MINS** ::
When using the =-P= or =-Q= flags, the Internet is consulted only
if current pricing data is older than MINS minutes.
**-P** ::
Report commodities in terms of their market price. The Internet is
consulted for current prices, by calling an external script named
=getquote= (a sample Perl script is provided, but the interface is
kept simple so replacements may be made). Register reports always
give the total market value for the date of the entry -- which means
they may vary greatly from the sum of the values of the individual
entries.
**-P FILE** ::
With this option, or if the environment variable =PRICE_HIST= is
set, pricing information obtained from the Internet will be kept
in this file. Also, this file will be read after all other ledger
files are read, so that full history information is available for
reports.
**-Q FILE** ::
Works like the =-P= flag, except it reads and saves downloaded price
information in =FILE=, accumulating a history of prices for each
commodity. This is the same as using =-P= with the environment
variable =PRICE_HIST= set to =FILE=.
**-T** ::
Report only commodity totals, not the market value or basis cost.
Report commodity totals only, not their market value or basis cost.
**-V** ::
Report the market value for commodities, but without consulting the
Internet for current prices. This uses only the pricing data saved
in the ledger file, or in the history file referenced by the
environment variable =PRICE_HIST=.
Report commodity values in terms of their last known market price.
**-B** ::
Report commodities in terms of their "basis cost", or what they cost
at time of purchase. Thus, totals in the register and balance
report reflect the total amount spent.
**-Q FILE** ::
When needed (see the =-L= option) pricing quotes are obtained by
calling the script =getquote= (a sample Perl script is provided, but
the interface is kept simple so replacements may be made).
**-L MINS** ::
When using the =-Q= flag, new quotes are obtained only if current
pricing data is older than MINS minutes. The default is one day,
or 1440 minutes.
Note that the =-B=, =-T=, =-V=, and =-P= and =-Q= flags are all
mutually exclusive. Whichever option appears last is used.

** Option summary
**-B** ::
When printing accounts containing commodities, display the base
price for the commodity, rather than the quantity of that commodity
(the default) or its current price (if =-P= or =-Q= is used). This
option causes only the price at time(s) of purchase to be
considered, not the current or historical price afterwards.
*** Basic options
**-v** ::
Display the version of ledger being used.
**-h** ::
Print out quick help on the various options and commands.
**-f FILE[<verbatim>=</verbatim>ACCOUNT]** ::
Read ledger entries from FILE. This takes precedence over the
environment variable LEDGER. If "<verbatim>=</verbatim>ACCOUNT" is
appended to the filename, then all of the entries are seen as if the
transactions accounts were prefixed by "ACCOUNT:". There may be
multiple occurrences of the =-f= option.
**-i FILE** ::
Read in the list of patterns to include/exclude from FILE.
Ordinarily, these are specified as arguments after the command.
*** Filtering options
**-b DATE** ::
Only consider entries occuring on or after the given date.
**-C** ::
Only consider entries whose cleared flag has been set. The default
is to consider both.
**-e DATE** ::
Only consider entries occuring before the given date. The date is
not inclusive, so any entries occurring on that date will not be
used.
**-c** ::
Only consider entries occurring on or before the current date.

such as "2004/05". It's a shorthand for having to specify -b and -e
together.
**-E** ::
Also show empty accounts in the balance totals report.
**-C** ::
Only consider entries whose cleared flag has been set. The default
is to consider both.
**-e DATE** ::
Only consider entries occuring before the given date. The date is
not inclusive, so any entries occurring on that date will not be
used.
**-F** ::
Print full account names in all cases, such as "Assets:Checking"
instead of just "Checking". Only used current by the "balance"
command.
**-f FILE[<verbatim>=</verbatim>ACCOUNT]** ::
Read ledger entries from FILE. This takes precedence over the
environment variable LEDGER. If "<verbatim>=</verbatim>ACCOUNT" is
appended to the filename, then all of the entries are seen as if the
transactions accounts were prefixed by "ACCOUNT:". There may be
multiple occurrences of the =-f= option.
**-G** ::
Modifies the output generated by -M to be friendly to programs like
Gnuplot. It strips away the commodity label, and outputs only two
columns: the date and the amount.
**-h** ::
Print out quick help on the various options and commands.
**-i FILE** ::
Read in the list of patterns to include/exclude from FILE.
Ordinarily, these are specified as arguments after the command.
**-L MINS** ::
Specifies the number of minutes old that pricing data can be, before
the =-Q= and =-P= options will download a new quote from the
Internet. =-P= only downloads the information, while =-Q= maintains
the information in a history file. The default value for this
option is one day, or 1440 minutes.
**-U** ::
Show only uncleared transactions. The default is to consider both.
**-l AMT** ::
Limit balance reports to those which are greater than AMT.
**-M** ::
When used with the "register" command, causes only monthly subtotals
to appear. This can be useful for looking at spending patterns.
TODO: Accept an argument which specifies the period to use.
**-N REGEXP** ::
If an account matches REGEXP, only display it in the balance report
if its total is negative. Useful to avoid seeing credit in accounts
where one cannot spend that credit, and it will soon become negative
anyway (such as credit cards).
**-R** ::
Ignore all virtual transactions, and report only the real balance
for each account.
*** Output formatting options
**-n** ::
Do not show subtotals in the balance report, or split transactions
in the register report.
**-P** ::
Download current prices for all commodities by calling the script
"getquote". There is a "getquote" script included with ledger,
although any similar program could be used. It must take a single
argument, the name of the commodity, and must report the value as a
single amount, such as would appear in a ledger file. If the
commodity has no price, nothing should be output and the exit code
should be set to a non-zero value.
**-s** ::
If an account has children, show them in the balance report.
**-S** ::
Sort the ledger after reading it. This may affect "register" and
"print" output.
**-E** ::
Also show empty accounts in the balance totals report.
**-F** ::
Print full account names in all cases, such as "Assets:Checking"
instead of just "Checking". Only used current by the "balance"
command.
**-M** ::
When used with the "register" command, causes only monthly subtotals
to appear. This can be useful for looking at spending patterns.
TODO: Accept an argument which specifies the period to use.
**-G** ::
Modifies the output generated by -M to be friendly to programs like
Gnuplot. It strips away the commodity label, and outputs only two
columns: the date and the amount.
*** Commodity reporting options
**-P FILE** ::
With this option, or if the environment variable =PRICE_HIST= is
set, pricing information obtained from the Internet will be kept
in this file. Also, this file will be read after all other ledger
files are read, so that full history information is available for
reports.
**-T** ::
Report commodity totals only, not their market value or basis cost.
**-V** ::
Report commodity values in terms of their last known market price.
**-B** ::
Report commodities in terms of their "basis cost", or what they cost
at time of purchase. Thus, totals in the register and balance
report reflect the total amount spent.
**-Q FILE** ::
When needed (see the =-L= option) pricing quotes are obtained by
calling the script =getquote= (a sample Perl script is provided, but
the interface is kept simple so replacements may be made).
**-L MINS** ::
When using the =-Q= flag, new quotes are obtained only if current
pricing data is older than MINS minutes. The default is one day,
or 1440 minutes.
**-p ARG** ::
If a string, such as "COMM=$1.20", the commodity COMM will be

use: -p "$=0.00280112 AU" (or whatever the current exchange rate
is).
**-Q FILE** ::
This option, like =-P=, downloads commodities prices from the
Internet as needed, by calling the script "getquote" (see above).
However, this option takes a string argument: the file to write the
downloaded pricing data to. On future runs, this pricing data is
consulted to see if it's fresh enough, to avoid downloading it from
the Internet again. The freshness period is given by the =-L=
option, specifying the maximum allowable age in minutes. The
default is one day. So, to report the current value of your
investments up to the day, add =-Q ~/.pricedb= to your ledger
command-line. Also, it is recommended that the =-Q= option always
appear after all uses of =-f=.
**-R** ::
Ignore all virtual transactions, and report only the real balance
for each account.
**-S** ::
Sort the ledger after reading it. This may affect "register" and
"print" output.
**-s** ::
If an account has children, show them in the balance report.
**-T** ::
Show only commodities totals, do not convert to the basis cost or
the current market value. This disables the effect of =-B=, =-P=
and =-Q=.
**-U** ::
Show only uncleared transactions. The default is to consider both.
**-V** ::
Report the market value for commodities, but without consulting the
Internet for current prices. This uses only the pricing data saved
in the ledger file, or in the history file referenced by the
environment variable =PRICE_HIST=.
**-v** ::
Display the version of ledger being used.
