This report needs accounts and dates to be specified in Win10 and I'd like
to tweak some other settings. "A datafile may be specified to describe some
saved options." Where is the documentation for gnucash-cli ?

                          logs.
                          This is equivalent to: --log "=info" --log
"qof=info"
                          --log "gnc=info"

                          "modulename={debug,info,warn,crit,error}"
                          Examples: "--log qof=debug" or "--log
                          gnc.backend.file.sx=info"
