Barter is a simple way for people to create and exchange value.

Barter's functionality centers around a few basic object types: denominations, users, notes, events, values, and portfolios.

The Barter Server, once compiled and installed, can be invoked with the barterd.start command, installed by default in /usr/local/barter/bin. It can be shutdown with barterd.stop. These two programs are simply shell scripts and invoke barterd with certain default parameters, so you may wish to edit them.

help

Prints out a list of all command names.

exit

shutdown

Tells the server to shutdown. (User must have USER_FLAG_SUPER.) All connections will be terminated with CODE_GOODBYE.

Barter comes with three Perl modules to make interacting with the server as easy as possible. All of them come with the standard installation.
