.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
hledger is a cross\-platform program for tracking money, time, or any
 | 
						|
other commodity, using double\-entry accounting and a simple, editable
 | 
						|
file format.
 | 
						|
hledger is inspired by and largely compatible with ledger(1).
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
hledger\-api is a simple web API server, intended to support
 | 
						|
client\-side web apps operating on hledger data.
 | 
						|
It comes with a series of simple client\-side app examples, which drive
 | 
						|
it\[aq]s evolution.
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
Data is served from the usual hledger journal file:
 | 
						|
\f[C]~/.hledger.journal\f[], \f[C]$LEDGER_FILE\f[], or another file
 | 
						|
specified with \-f.
 | 
						|
For more about the format, see hledger(1) or hledger_journal(5).
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
The server listens for requests on port ...
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
Note there is no built\-in access control, so you will need to hide
 | 
						|
hledger\-api behind an authenticating proxy if you want to restrict
 | 
						|
access.
 | 
						|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
\f[B]LEDGER_FILE\f[] sets the default journal file path.
 | 
						|
If not set, it is \f[C]~/.hledger.journal\f[].
 | 
						|
.SH FILES
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
Reads data from a hledger journal file (\f[C]$LEDGER_FILE\f[] or
 | 
						|
\f[C]~/.hledger.journal\f[] by default), or a CSV file plus associated
 | 
						|
CSV rules file.
 | 
						|
.SH BUGS
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
The need to precede options with \f[C]\-\-\f[] when invoked from hledger
 | 
						|
is awkward.
