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.
