+Description
+===========
+
+**libeufin-cli** is the user interface program to interact
+with **libeufin-sandbox** and **libeufin-nexus** when they are
+operating as HTTP servers, listening on localhost ports.
+Normally, you invoke them with their respective ``serve`` commands,
+and in a separate shell, use **libeufin-cli** to send requests
+and receive responses from them.
+
+The interaction model is as follows:
+
+- (Optionally) Start the sandbox.
+
+- Start the nexus.
+
+- Use **libeufin-cli** to interact with them.
+ You can manage users and permissions, bank accounts, "facades",
+ transactions, and connections between the various systems.
+
+For **libeufin-cli** to be able to communicate with **libeufin-sandbox**,
+the following environment variables need to be set:
+
+``LIBEUFIN_SANDBOX_USERNAME``
+ This should normally be ``admin``.
+
+``LIBEUFIN_SANDBOX_PASSWORD``
+ This is the same password chosen when the sandbox was started.
+
+``LIBEUFIN_SANDBOX_URL``
+ This is ``http://localhost:PORT/``, where ``PORT`` is the
+ same port chosen when the sandbox was started.
+ This URL can also be specified with the ``--sandbox-url URL``
+ option to the ``sandbox`` command (see below).
+
+For **libeufin-cli** to be able to communicate with **libeufin-nexus**,
+the following environment variables need to be set:
+
+``LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME``
+ This is the same username chosen by the nexus ``superuser`` command.
+
+``LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD``
+ This is the same username chosen by the nexus ``superuser`` command.
+
+``LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL``
+ This is ``http://localhost:PORT/``, where ``PORT`` is the
+ same port chosen when the nexus was started.
+
+Of the six commands, the ``sandbox`` command talks to the sandbox,
+while the other five commands talk to the nexus.
+The following sections describe each command and their subcommands in detail.
