NAME

       cleartrans-cli - interactively clear transactions in a ledger file

SYNOPSIS

       cleartrans

DESCRIPTION

       cleartrans-cli is a text program for quickly clearing transactions in a ledger file.

       This  program looks for all uncleared transactions in the ledger file, whose effective date is not in the
       future.  For each such transaction, it asks whether the transaction should be cleared, and prompts for an
       effective date for the transaction.

       The resulting ledger is written to a new file, and atomically renamed  to  the  original  filename.  This
       prevents accidental loss of data.

       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.
