CLI

The archive binary is the server and the command line.

Usage

Every command except serve, types, user and spec pull needs at least one user. Commands act as the first owner, or as the user in -as email, which goes before the command. Output is JSON. Flags may come before or after the arguments.

archive -as sam@example.com list receipt shop="Albert Heijn" -limit 10
