Global Parameters
prompt=
Some potentially destructive commands prompt before proceeding. This default behavior can be turned off
by specifying "prompt=false".
output=
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=
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
description="This applies to snapshot1;This applies to snapshot2"
The default separator character is a semicolon (';'). If the same character is used in the body of a parameter
then separator can be changed to something else.
description="This applies to snapshot1;This applies to snapshot2"
