This is done by specifying a [report period](#report-start--end-date),

So to close on (end of) 2020-12-31 and open on (start of) 2021-01-01, any of these will work:
- `-p 2020`
- `date:2020`
- `-e 2021-01-01` (remember `-e` specifies an exclusive end date)
- `-e 2021`
| end date argument | explanation
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| `-e 2021-01-01` | [end dates](#report-start--end-date) are exclusive, so "last day of report period" is 2020-12-31
| `-e 2021` | equivalent, per [smart dates](#smart-dates)
| `-p 2020` | equivalent, the [period expression's](#period-expressions) begin date is ignored
| `date:2020` | equivalent [query](#queries)
