These command-line options always occur before the\ command word. This is done to distinguish options from exclusive\ regular expressions, which also begin with a dash. The basic form for\ most commands is:\ \ @example\ ledger [OPTIONS] COMMAND [REGEXPS...] [-- [REGEXPS...]]\ @end example\ \ The @var\{OPTIONS\} and @var\{REGEXPS\} expressions are both optional.\ You could just use @samp\{ledger balance\}, without any options---which\ prints a summary of all accounts. But for more specific reporting, or\ to change the appearance of the output, options are needed.}
