.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBlibeufin\-nexus\fP is a program that provides a service to interface to
various bank access APIs
.sp
Its options are as follows:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
\fB\-h\fP | \fB\-\-help\fP
Print short help on options.
.TP
\fB–version\fP
Print version information.
.UNINDENT
.sp
The interaction model is as follows:
.sp
In order to operate any EBICS communication with \fBlibeufin\-nexus\fP, it is necessary to setup EBICS access via the \fBebics\-setup\fP subcommand.  Setting the access means to share the client keys with the bank and downloading the bank keys.  After a successful setup, the subcommands \fBebics\-submit\fP and \fBebics\-fetch\fP can be run to respectively send payments and download the bank account history.
.sp
The following sections describe each command in detail.
.SS ebics\-setup
.sp
This command creates the client keys, if they aren\(aqt found already on the disk, and sends them to the bank if they were not sent yet.  In case of sending, it ejects the PDF document that contains the keys fingerprints, so that the user can send it to the bank to confirm their keys.  The process continues by checking if the bank keys exist already on disk, and proceeds with downloading them in case they are not.  It checks then if the bank keys were accepted by the user; if yes, the setup terminates, otherwise it interactively asks the user to mark the keys as accepted.  By accepting the bank keys, the setup terminates successfully.
.sp
Its options are as follows:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
\fB\-h\fP | \fB\-\-help\fP
Prints short help on options.
.TP
\fB\-c\fP | \fB\-\-config\fP ‌\fIFILENAME\fP
Specifies the configuration file.
.TP
\fB\-\-force\-keys\-resubmission\fP
Resubmits the client keys.  If no keys were found, it creates and submits them.
.TP
\fB\-\-auto\-accept\-keys\fP
Accepts the bank keys without interactively asking the user.
.TP
\fB\-\-generate\-registration\-pdf\fP
Generates the PDF with the client keys fingerprints, if the keys have the submitted state.  That\(aqs useful in case the PDF went lost after the first submission and the user needs a new PDF.
.UNINDENT
.SS dbinit
.sp
This subcommand defines the database schema for Nexus.  It is mandatory to run this command before invoking the \fBebics\-submit\fP or \fBebics\-fetch\fP subcommands.
.sp
Its options are as follows:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
\fB\-h\fP | \fB\-\-help\fP
Print short help on options.
.TP
\fB\-c\fP | \fB\-\-config\fP ‌\fIFILENAME\fP
Specifies the configuration file.
.TP
\fB\-r\fP | \fB\-\-reset\fP
If present, deletes any database table (WARNING: potential data loss)
.UNINDENT
.SS ebics\-submit
.sp
This subcommand submits any initiated payment that was not already sent to the bank.  In the current version, initiated payments may come from a cash\-out operation or from a bounced incoming payment.  ebics\-submit is Taler friendly, therefore bounced payments are those that do not contain a valid subject to start a Taler withdrawal.  Cash\-out operations come from a tightly integrated bank that offers their customers to convert their currency to the currency whose the EBICS subscriber bank account is tied to.
.sp
Its options are as follows:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
\fB\-h\fP | \fB\-\-help\fP
Print short help on options.
.TP
\fB\-c\fP | \fB\-\-config\fP ‌\fIFILENAME\fP
Specifies the configuration file.
.TP
\fB\-\-transient\fP
This flag, enabled by default, causes the command to check the database and submit only once, and then return.
.UNINDENT
.SS ebics\-fetch
.sp
This subcommand downloads banking records via EBICS and stores them into the database. Along the download, ebics\-fetch would bounce incoming payments that do not have a valid Taler subject, or as well those with an already existing valid subject. Valid incoming payments are then stored in the database so that they can trigger Taler withdrawals. Along this process, ebics\-submit would as well reconcile initiated outgoing payments with any outgoing transactions that shows up in the downloaded records.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
\fB\-h\fP | \fB\-\-help\fP
Print short help on options.
.TP
\fB\-c\fP | \fB\-\-config\fP ‌\fIFILENAME\fP
Specifies the configuration file.
.TP
\fB\-\-transient\fP
This flag, enabled by default, causes the command to perform one download and return.
.TP
\fB\-\-pinned\-start\fP
Only supported in \-\-transient mode, this option lets specify the earliest timestamp of the downloaded documents.  The latest timestamp is always the current time.
