16 rnetclient is used to send Brazilian tax income reports to Receita Fed‐
17 eral, Braziliam Tax Authority. It communicates with the official
18 server from Receita Federal, ensures a secure connection is estab‐
19 lished, and submits the file. It is the product of reverse-engineering
20 ReceitaNet, which is the proprietary, non-free version of the software
21 that does the same thing as rnetclient.
22
25 -d <FILE>, --declaration=<FILE>
26 Provide the declaration (report) filename to be sent to Receita
27 Federal. This argument is mandatory. For historical reasons,
28 the user can also provide the declaration filename without spec‐
29 ifying the -d modifier.
30 -o <DIRECTORY>, --output-dir=<DIRECTORY>
33 Specify the output directory where the receipt will be saved.
34 This argument is optional; if no output directory is specified,
35 then the receipt will be saved in the current working directory
36 (CWD).
37 -V, --version
40 Print the program version and exit.

45 There is no way to talk about rnetclient without mentioning IRPF-Livre,
46 which is an older project started and maintained by Alexandre Oliva.
47 This project exists because Receita Federal, the Brazilian Tax Author‐
48 ity, does not release the source code for the software used to fill the
49 Brazilian Tax Income Report. Alexandre still fights to make Receita
50 Federal release this program as Free Software, but he also decided to
51 produce and release a Free version of the program. However, there was
52 still another closed source software needed to fully be able to do your
53 duties with the Brazilian government: the program used to submit the
54 report to Receita Federal. That is how rnetclient was born.
55 The program began as a personal project from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cas‐
57 cardo. He had to reverse engineer the proprietary software in order to
58 replicate the functionality, and made the first release on 2013. In
59 2014, Alexandre Oliva and Sergio Durigan Junior joined efforts and
60 helped in the release of the second version.
