effitool - use effireg from the command line
=============================================================================

effitool is a command line tool to use the API of the effireg
membership register for the Effi association.

Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

effitool is a single-file Python3 program. Get a copy from anywhere,
and run it.

    ./effitool

Configuration
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to access the API, effitool needs API client credentials.
Specifically, it needs a client id and a client secret. These are
stored in the `~/.config/effitool/credentials.conf` file, which is an
INI format file:

    [effi]
    url = https://effi-reg.vm.liw.fi
    client_id = tapani
    client_secret = YOUWISH

The file may specify credentials for any number of instances of the
membership regiester. This is handy for the developers. If only one is
specified, effitool will use it automatically. If more than one server
is specified, the `--api` (`-a`) option is used to pick one.

    ./effitool -a effi ...

The list of known servers can be listed:

    ./effitool list-servers

Usage: 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To check the version of the membership register:

    ./effitool version

Legalese
