Global parameters
prompt=<true | false>
Some potentially destructive commands prompt before proceeding.
This default
behavior can be turned off by specifying "prompt=false".
output=<XML | Normal>
In the default case, the CLI returns information to standard output, formatted in a way
that's easy to read rather than easy to parse.
The XML setting returns all output
information as an XML document, allowing easier parsing of the result. There is no
guarantee that newer versions of the API will preserve the same formatting in the
default case.
It is strongly discouraged to use this form of the CLI programmatically.
If
the output needs to be parsed, the XML variant is preferred.
separator=<c>
Some CLI parameters comprise parameters for multiple operations.
For example, the
"snapshotVolumes" command allows the user to specify simultaneous snapshotting of
multiple volumes.
In this scenario, some parameters specify an ordered list that apply
to each snapshot in succession.
For example:
description="This applies to snapshot1;This applies to snapshot2"
The default separator character is a semicolon (';').
This can be overridden with the
separator parameter in the event that the default separator is in the body of a
parameter.
description="This applies to snapshot1;This applies to snapshot2"
inputFile=<file>
This takes all command input from a file containing XML input.
