--debug

Enable debugging mode: increasing logging to provide deep detail.

--extra

--log

Log level overrides, of the form "log.ger.path={debug,info,warn,crit,error}" This option can be specified multiple times.

--logto

File to log into; defaults to "/tmp/gnucash.trace"; can be "stderr" or "stdout".

--nofile

Do not load the last file opened

--add-price-quotes FILE

Add price quotes to the given data file. Note this option has been deprecated and will be removed in GnuCash 5.0. Instead use 'gnucash-cli --quotes get'.

--namespace=REGEXP

Regular expression determining which namespace commodities will be retrieved. This is only relevant for the --add-price-quotes option. And as with that option it is deprecated and will be removed in GnuCash 5.0. The same option can be passed to 'gnucash-cli --quotes get' to achieve the same result.

~/.gnucash/config.auto

Automatically generated per-user configuration file. DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY!

GNC_DEBUG

Enable debugging output. This allows you to turn on the debugging earlier in the startup process than you can with --debug.

GUILE_LOAD_PATH

GNC_MODULE_PATH
