+The -c and --condition is a flexible way to sort and get only interesting results. It supports condition on numerical values, dates, and strings. Dates are given in YYYY-MM-DD format.
+The syntax of one expression is "\\fBfield operator value\\fR". The field to test is always the left member of the expression.
+.LP
+The field is a member of the objects returned by the command. For example, a bank account has "balance", "coming" or "label" fields.
+.SS The following opperators are supported:
+.TP
+=
+Test if object.field is egal to value.
+.TP
+!=
+Test if object.field is different to value.
+.TP
+>
+Test if object.field is superior to value. If object.field is date, return true if value is before that object.field.
+.TP
+<
+Test if object.field is inferior value. If object.field is date, return true if value is after that object.field.
+.TP
+|
+This operator is available only for string fields. It works like the Unix standard \\fBgrep\\fR command, and return true if the pattern specified in value is in object.field.
+.SS Combination of expressions
+You can make a combination of expression with the keywords \\fB" AND "\\fR and \\fB" OR "\\fR.
+
+.SS Examples:
+.nf
+.B boobank ls \-\-condition 'label=Livret A'
+.fi
+Display only the "Livret A" account.
+.PP
+.nf
+.B boobank ls \-\-condition 'balance>10000'
+.fi
+Display accounts with a lot of money.
+.PP
+.nf
+.B boobank history account@backend \-\-condition 'label|rewe'
+.fi
+Get transactions containing "rewe".
+.PP
+.nf
+.B boobank history account@backend \-\-condition 'date>2013-12-01 AND date<2013-12-09'
+.fi
+Get transactions betweens the 2th December and 8th December 2013.
