Description: ================
        OpenStack Client
        ================
        
        python-openstackclient is a unified command-line client for the OpenStack APIs.  It is
        a thin wrapper to the stock python-*client modules that implement the
        actual REST API client actions.
        
        This is an implementation of the design goals shown in 
        http://wiki.openstack.org/UnifiedCLI.  The primary goal is to provide
        a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe
        operations in OpenStack.
        
        python-openstackclient is designed to add support for API extensions via a
        plugin mechanism
        
        
        Configuration
        =============
        
        The cli is configured via environment variables and command-line
        options as listed in http://wiki.openstack.org/UnifiedCLI/Authentication.
        
        The 'password flow' variation is most commonly used::
        
           export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
           export OS_TENANT_NAME=<tenant-name>
           export OS_USERNAME=<user-name>
           export OS_PASSWORD=<password>    # yes, it isn't secure, we'll address it in the future
        
        The corresponding command-line options look very similar::
        
           --os-auth-url <url>
           --os-tenant-name <tenant-name>
           --os-username <user-name>
           --os-password <password>
        
        The token flow variation for authentication uses an already-aquired token
        and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired
        from the Service Catalog::
        
            export OS_TOKEN=<token>
            export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
        
        The corresponding command-line options look very similar::
        
            --os-token <token>
            --os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
        
        Additional command-line options and their associated environment variables
        are listed here::
        
           --debug             # turns on some debugging of the API conversation
                                 (via httplib2)
           --verbose | -v      # Increase verbosity of output. Can be repeated.
           --quiet | -q        # suppress output except warnings and errors
           --help | -h         # show a help message and exit
