.SH NAME
gnucash \- personal finance manager
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gnucash [--debug] [
.I accounts.gnc
.B ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B gnucash
is a personal accounting package that allows you to record
and track income, expenses, assets, and investments. It supports
reconciliation, has substantial reporting capabilities, and is
extensible using guile. It can import QIF data from Quicken(TM) and
many other commercial accounting packages. It uses GTK+ and GNOME to
provide an attractive user interface, and has extensive online help.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP --debug
Turn on debug mode. Mainly of interest to developers.
.SH FILES
.I ~/.gnucash/config.auto
.RS
Automatically generated per-user configuration file. DO NOT EDIT
MANUALLY!
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.IP GNC_DEBUG

earlier in the startup process than you can with
.B --debug.
.IP GNC_RUN_AS_SHELL
If set, makes
.B gnucash
pop up in a guile shell with all the gnucash functions loaded. See
the README for more details.
.IP GNC_BOOTSTRAP_SCM
Location of the initial bootstrapping scheme code. Hopefully, you
won't need to change this.
.IP GNC_SCM_LOAD_PATH

.B gnucash
scheme load path. You shouldn't need to alter this. For more
information see the README file.
.SH BUGS

stage. Please report any bugs using the bug reporting form on the
