Buy by item id (non-interactive, special id '0' will re-buy last item in log):
    c4mate -b|--buy <id>

Zsh completion

Link or move _c4mate into any directory in $fpath or extend $fpath accordingly.

Bar code scanning via webcam

When the --barcode switch is used, c4mate invokes zbarcam (part of zbar) to read bar codes via webcam. Arguments after --barcode are passed to zbarcam:

c4mate --barcode /dev/video2
