The ledger convert command does not work as outlined in the manual. I've tried on my own CSV files and I've tried copying the example directly from the manual.

When I run the command as outlined in the manual this is what I get:
`Error: No journal file was specified (please use -f)`

I don't understand why it wants me to specify a journal file to run the convert command. Does it output to the journal?

Hello,

I believe, it'd need that to have things like previous account balances, valid account names, and other directives covered. So after the convert, you'll have an "incremental" piece of journal, if that makes sense.

Regards,
Dan
