# gnofin(1)

a personal finance application for GNOME

## NAME

Gnofin - a personal finance application for GNOME

## SYNOPSIS

**gnofin** \[--help\] \[--usage\] \[-V\]   \[--display=DISPLAY\] \[--no-xshm\]  \[--gtk-module=MODULE\] \[accountsfile\]

## DESCRIPTION

*Gnofin* is a simple checkbook application for Linux (and other UNIX variants).  Gnofin aims to provide a convenient way to keep track of your checking and savings accounts (or any other monetary-type accounts). It is designed to be light-weight, fast, and extremely easy to use.

You will hardly need any of the options below as it is an interactive program. The only thing of interest is probably the **accountsfile** parameter.

## OPTIONS

*Gnofin* accepts the following options:

- *accountsfile*

  This file will be opened automatically after starting up Gnofin.

- **--help**

  Display a list of all commandline options.

- **--usage**

  Show a terse usage summary.

- **-V**

  Output the version info.

- **--display *display***

  Use the designated X display.

- **--no-xshm**

  Do not use the X Shared Memory extension. You should not normally need this option. It will result in slower performance than with X shared memory enabled. On the other hand some servers have buggy XSHM implementations. If starting Gnofin crashes your X server you should try this option.

## ENVIRONMENT

- **DISPLAY**

  Describes the X display to use if no --display option is given.
