I've made a preliminary distillation of the command-line possibilities for libeufin-cli (attached).
Please take a look. I'll convert it to a proper manpage once it gets your approval.

Actually, it would be nice to have manpages for all libeufin programs, i.e., libeufin-{sandbox,nexus,cli}.

I've started the libeufin-sandbox manpage:

https://git.taler.net/docs.git/commit/?id=bcd5adae13a2f0c94f98dc25c73c6dbcadf7d35d

@MS PTAL when you get a chance.

I'm looking to clarify the libeufin-sandbox interaction model.
When you have a moment, could you take a look at the new (wip) manpage and let me know if i'm on the right track?

The libeufin-nexus(1) manpage is now available:

- https://git.taler.net/docs.git/commit/?id=65a9b2dc88c4756f10c8287347d33b01bb1ec9c4
- https://docs.taler.net/manpages/libeufin-nexus.1.html

Now on to the big one: libeufin-cli(1)!

After some discussion w/ MS, i've come to a better understanding (maybe) of the Access API as it
relates to the LIBEUFIN_SANDBOX_URL env var. To help the documentation effort, i've pushed:

- https://git.taler.net/libeufin.git/commit/?h=dev/ttn/refactoring&id=4caed8388d11701da995cf368c21a6b742e2b628

IIUC, non-Acess-API commands will go away at some point. So, i wonder if it makes sense to document
them at all. My question is: Is there a timeframe planned for their removal?

I'd discourage to document those: both in the manpage and in various tutorials.
They'll be removed once TypeScript tests (at wallet-core.git) won't use them anymore.
No defined timeframe but now reported here: 0007168

OK, i'm taking a detour from the libeufin-cli(1) manpage to fix up the "configuring the sandbox" section in the Nexus tutorial:

- https://git.taler.net/docs.git/tree/libeufin/nexus-tutorial.rst#n130

Currently, here are the libeufin-cli sandbox commands used in that section:
  - cli sandbox check
  - cli sandbox ebicshost create
  - cli sandbox ebicshost list
  - cli sandbox ebicssubscriber create
  - cli sandbox ebicssubscriber list
  - cli sandbox ebicsbankaccount create
  - cli sandbox bankaccount generate-transactions
  - cli sandbox bankaccount simulate-incoming-transaction
  - cli sandbox bankaccount transactions

Of these, i'm trying to determine which are "old" commands (to be replaced by 'libeufin-cli sandbox demobank' commands, perhaps).
I guess the "... create" commands are "old", but the "... list" commands are going to stay. Is that correct?
My question generally is: Which of those are "old"?
