NAME

       ktoblzcheck - Check Account and BLZ (bank routing code)

SYNOPSIS

       ktoblzcheck [--returncode] [--file=<datafile>] <bank-id> <account-id>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the ktoblzcheck application.

       ktoblzcheck is a program that will check a given account and blz for the bank being valid and the account
       being valid using some checksum calculations, if supported for that particular bank. The  output  is  the
       clear-text name of the bank specified by <bank-id>, and whether the given <account-id> is a valid account
       number at this bank.

OPTIONS

       <bank-id>
              This is the Bankleitzahl (bank routing id), actually it is the account-id of that particular  bank
              at the Deutsche Bundesbank.

       <account-id>
              This is the account number you wish to verify. If the checksum method of the bank specified by the
              <bank-id> is supported, you will get the account-id verified, i.e. if it is a valid account-id  at
              that particular bank.

       --returncode
              If  given,  the result is returned via the returncode and no output on the terminal. The following
              returncodes are possible: 0: account and bank are ok 1: unknown, e.g. checksum not implemented  or
              such 2: account and/or bank not ok 3: bank not found

       --file=<datafile>
              Specifies the file with the bankdata. This file can be obtained via the internet from the Deutsche
              Bundesbank on address
              http://www.bundesbank.de/zahlungsverkehr/zahlungsverkehr_bankleitzahlen_download.php
              Beware! This page is in German only.

BUGS

       No bugs are known at this time.  Only certain checksum algorythms are supported  as  of  now,  so  please
       don't complain if you always get "unknown" as return value.
