NAME

       sellstock-cli - record FIFO stock or commodity sales

SYNOPSIS

       sellstock-cli

DESCRIPTION

       sellstock-cli is a text program for quickly recording commodity sales in a ledger file.

       The program first prompts for the account in which the commodity was stored, the account for commissions,
       and  the  account  to  credit for gains and losses, as well as the amount and name of sold commodity, its
       sale price, and the commission.

       Then the program invokes ledger to list the dates and prices at which each commodity was purchased, lists
       them, subtracts the requested amount and shows the result.

       Finally, the resulting transaction is shown, asking for a confirmation to save it to the journal.

       The program must be supplied with location of the ledger file to work with.  The location of the file  is
       determined  using  the  following  mechanisms, in this order.  The first mechanism which yields a result,
       wins.
