NAME

   rnetclient  -  Submit  the Brazilian Income Tax Report to the Brazilian
   Tax Authority

SYNOPSIS

   rnetclient   [-d|--declaration]   <FILE>   [-o    <DIRECTORY>|--output-
   dir=<DIRECTORY>]

DESCRIPTION

   rnetclient  is  used  to  send  Brazilian tax income reports to Receita
   Federal, Braziliam Tax Authority.  It communicates  with  the  official
   server   from   Receita   Federal,   ensures  a  secure  connection  is
   established, and submits the file.   It  is  the  product  of  reverse-
   engineering  ReceitaNet,  which is the proprietary, non-free version of
   the software that does the same thing as rnetclient.

OPTIONS

   -d <FILE>, --declaration=<FILE>
          Provide the declaration (report) filename to be sent to  Receita
          Federal.   This  argument is mandatory.  For historical reasons,
          the user can  also  provide  the  declaration  filename  without
          specifying the -d modifier.

   -o <DIRECTORY>, --output-dir=<DIRECTORY>
          Specify  the  output  directory where the receipt will be saved.
          This argument is optional; if no output directory is  specified,
          then  the receipt will be saved in the current working directory
          (CWD).

   -V, --version
          Print the program version and exit.

HISTORY AND MOTIVATION

   There is no way to talk about rnetclient without mentioning IRPF-Livre,
   which  is  an  older project started and maintained by Alexandre Oliva.
   This  project  exists  because  Receita  Federal,  the  Brazilian   Tax
   Authority,  does  not  release the source code for the software used to
   fill the Brazilian Tax Income Report.  Alexandre still fights  to  make
   Receita  Federal  release  this  program  as Free Software, but he also
   decided to produce and release a Free version of the program.  However,
   there  was still another closed source software needed to fully be able
   to do your duties with the Brazilian government: the  program  used  to
   submit the report to Receita Federal.  That is how rnetclient was born.

   The  program  began  as  a  personal  project from Thadeu Lima de Souza
   Cascardo.  He had to reverse engineer the proprietary software in order
   to replicate the functionality, and made the first release on 2013.  In
   2014, Alexandre Oliva and Sergio  Durigan  Junior  joined  efforts  and
   helped in the release of the second version.
