ledger\-autosync, which includes a \f[C]hledger\-autosync\f[] alias,
downloads transactions from your bank(s) via OFX, and prints just the
new ones as journal entries which you can add to your journal.
It can also operate on .OFX files which you\[aq]ve downloaded manually.
It can be a nice alternative to hledger\[aq]s built\-in CSV reader,
especially if your bank supports OFX download.

hledger\-diff compares two journal files.
Given an account name, it prints out the transactions affecting that
account which are in one journal file but not in the other.
This can be useful for reconciling existing journals with bank
statements.

.PP
This prints a journal entry which zeroes out the specified accounts (or
all accounts) with a transfer to/from "equity:closing balances" (like
Ledger\[aq]s equity command).
Also, it prints an similar entry with opposite sign for restoring the
balances from "equity:opening balances".
.PP
These can be useful for ending one journal file and starting a new one,
respectively.
By zeroing your asset and liability accounts at the end of a file and
restoring them at the start of the next one, you will see correct
asset/liability balances whether you run hledger on just one file, or on
several files concatenated with include.

hledger\-interest computes interests for a given account.
Using command line flags, the program can be configured to use various
schemes for day\-counting, such as act/act, 30/360, 30E/360, and
30/360isda.
Furthermore, it supports a (small) number of interest schemes, i.e.
annual interest with a fixed rate and the scheme mandated by the German
BGB288 (Basiszins für Verbrauchergeschäfte).
See the package page for more.

hledger\-irr computes the internal rate of return, also known as the
effective interest rate, of a given investment.
After specifying what account holds the investment, and what account
stores the gains (or losses, or fees, or cost), it calculates the
hypothetical annual rate of fixed rate investment that would have
provided the exact same cash flow.

liabilities:debts $-1
equity:closing balances 0
2015/05/23
assets:bank:saving $1
assets:cash $-2
liabilities:debts $1
equity:opening balances 0
This prints a journal entry which zeroes out the specified accounts
(or all accounts) with a transfer to/from "equity:closing balances"
(like Ledger's equity command). Also, it prints an similar entry with
opposite sign for restoring the balances from "equity:opening balances".
These can be useful for ending one journal file and starting a new
one, respectively. By zeroing your asset and liability accounts at the
end of a file and restoring them at the start of the next one, you will
see correct asset/liability balances whether you run hledger on just one
file, or on several files concatenated with include.

hledger-interest computes interests for a given account. Using
command line flags, the program can be configured to use various
schemes for day-counting, such as act/act, 30/360, 30E/360, and
30/360isda. Furthermore, it supports a (small) number of interest
schemes, i.e. annual interest with a fixed rate and the scheme
mandated by the German BGB288 (Basiszins für Verbrauchergeschäfte).
See the package page for more.

hledger-irr computes the internal rate of return, also known as the
effective interest rate, of a given investment. After specifying what
account holds the investment, and what account stores the gains (or
losses, or fees, or cost), it calculates the hypothetical annual rate of
fixed rate investment that would have provided the exact same cash flow.

Web API server, see hledger-api.

[PATH]
Synchronize ledger.
positional arguments:
PATH do not sync; import from OFX file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-m MAX, --max MAX maximum number of days to process
-r, --resync do not stop until max days reached
-a ACCOUNT, --account ACCOUNT
set account name for import
-l LEDGER, --ledger LEDGER
specify ledger file to READ for syncing
-i INDENT, --indent INDENT
number of spaces to use for indentation
--initial create initial balance entries
--fid FID pass in fid value for OFX files that do not supply it
--assertions create balance assertion entries
-d, --debug enable debug logging
--hledger force use of hledger (on by default if invoked as hledger-

ledger-autosync, which includes a hledger-autosync alias, downloads
transactions from your bank(s) via OFX, and prints just the new ones as
journal entries which you can add to your journal. It can also operate
on .OFX files which you've downloaded manually. It can be a nice
alternative to hledger's built-in CSV reader, especially if your bank
supports OFX download.
diff
Show transactions present in one journal file but not another
$ hledger diff --help
Usage: hledger-diff account:name left.journal right.journal
$ cat a.journal

(acct:one) 1
$ cat b.journal

$ hledger diff acct:two a.journal b.journal
Unmatched transactions in the first journal:
Unmatched transactions in the second journal:
2015/02/02
(acct:two) $2
hledger-diff compares two journal files. Given an account name, it
prints out the transactions affecting that account which are in one
journal file but not in the other. This can be useful for reconciling
existing journals with bank statements.
equity
Print a journal entry that resets account balances to zero.
$ hledger balance --flat -E assets liabilities
0 assets:bank:checking
$1 assets:bank:saving
$-2 assets:cash
$1 liabilities:debts
--------------------
0
$ hledger equity assets liabilities
2015/05/23
assets:bank:saving $-1
assets:cash $2
liabilities:debts $-1
equity:closing balances 0
2015/05/23
assets:bank:saving $1
assets:cash $-2
liabilities:debts $1
equity:opening balances 0
This prints a journal entry which zeroes out the specified accounts (or
all accounts) with a transfer to/from "equity:closing balances" (like
Ledger's equity command). Also, it prints an similar entry with oppo-
site sign for restoring the balances from "equity:opening balances".
These can be useful for ending one journal file and starting a new one,
respectively. By zeroing your asset and liability accounts at the end
of a file and restoring them at the start of the next one, you will see
correct asset/liability balances whether you run hledger on just one
file, or on several files concatenated with include.
