💖 withdraw-cli 💖 — the General Commands Manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie so this is withdraw-cli, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

withdraw-cli — record multi-currency ATM withdrawals in a ledger file 💸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

withdraw

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one word and you're in 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

withdraw-cli is a text program for quickly entering cash withdrawal transactions in a ledger file. no cap, it's literally built for speed 🏃‍♀️💨

The way this works: it interactively asks you for accounts and withdrawn and deposited amounts, and then it adds a transaction to the ledger file after confirmation. so nothing gets written until you say yes, periodt ✅

🚨 important bestie: the program must be supplied with the location of the ledger file it's gonna work with. you cannot skip this. it's not optional. the program is nothing without its file. it's giving main character energy but the file is the main character 🙈

So how does it find the file? It goes through the following mechanisms, in this order. And the first mechanism which yields a result, wins 🏆 — like, it stops looking the second something answers. no second-guessing.

---

✨ ENVIRONMENT ✨

There's exactly one environment variable this program recognizes, and it's this one 👇

• LEDGER_FILE — Path to ledger file to work with. 🌸

---

✨ FILES ✨

The config file for ledger(1) — namely the file .ledgerrc in the user's home directory — gets scanned, looking for the following option 🔍

• --file FILE — Path to ledger file to work with. 🎀
