DESCRIPTION

       wbemcli    is    a    command    line    based     CIM     Client.     It     uses     one     of     the
       gc|gcd|dc|ec|ecn|gi|ci|mi|di|ei|ein|ai|ain|ri|rin|gp|sp|cm|cmx operations and the fully qualified path to
       the  CIM  Object  to  get  to the host and execute the specified operation.  This implementation is CIMOM
       library independent and can be used with  all  WBEM  compliant  CIMOM  implementations.   The  objectPath
       parameter is used to locate the CIM object and has the following format:

            <scheme>://[user:pwd@]<host>:<port>/<namespace[/..]>:<classname>[.<key=value[,..]>]

       The objectPath should be enclosed in single quotes so that double quoted
              strings are perserved by the command line shell. Refer to the examples section.

       The only scheme supported is http. Example:
                   http://krz:xyz@localhost:5988/root/cimv2:rpm_package.name=glibc

       The  prop=value[,...]  parameter  is  used  to  specify  <Property>=<Value>  pairs  for the ci, mi and sp
       operations.  Only one <Property>=<Value> pair must be specified for the sp operation.

       Example:
              stringProp="a string",booleanProp=true,numericProp=25

       Arrays of property values are supported by specifying additional values
              separated by commas

       Example:
              stringProp="a string","another string",numericProp=25,49,12

       The prop[,...] parameter specifies the properties to be returned.  One prop must be specified for the  gp
       operation.  For other operations this parameter is optional, if none are specified all properties will be
       returned.

       Example:
              stringProp,booleanProp,numericProp

       The method[.param=value[,...]  parameter  is  used  to  specify  <Parameter>=<Value>  pairs  for  the  cm
       operation.

       Example:
              Method2Execute.stringParam="a string",booleanParam=true,numericParam=25

       Arrays of property values are supported by specifying additional values
              separated by commas

       Example:
              Method2Execute.stringParam="a string","another string",numericParam=25,49,12

       Supported operations are:

       gc     get class

       ecn    enumerate class names

       gi     get instance

       ci     create instance

       mi     modify instance

       di     delete instance

       ei     enumerate instances

       ein    enumerate instance names

       ai     enumerate association instances

       ain    enumerate association instance names

       ri     enumerate reference instances

       rin    enumerate reference instance names

       gp     get property

       sp     set property

       cm     call method

       cmx    call method (return XML)

OPTIONS

       -h     Print a help message

       -nl    Start a new line for every property returned

       -t     Append array ([]), reference (&) and key property (#) indicators to property names

       -cte   Enable support for chunked responses from CIMOM

       -v     Show version information

       -dx    Show XML messages payload as received from CIMOM

       -dr    Delineate references with { } pairs

       -noverify
              Do not verify the server certificate for https URLs (useful for testing)

       -cacert
              CA certificate file (required for https URLS unless -noverify is specified)

       -clientcert
              Client certificate file (if the CIM server requires client certificates)

       -clientkey
              Client private key file (required if -clientcert is specified)

       -ac    association class name (ai, ain only)

       -arc   result class name (ai, ain, rin, ri only)

       -ar    role name (ai, ain, rin, ri only)

       -arr   result role name (ai, ain only)

LIBRARIES

       wbemcli requires either libghttp, libwww, or winhttp, depending on build options used.

Example

       To  get all instances of rpm_packages, i.e. all installed rpm packages on the local system, the following
       command can be used:

        wbemcli ei 'http://localhost:5988/root/cimv2:rpm_package'

       The get instance operation can be specified to get more information about a certain package:

        wbemcli gi 'http://localhost:5988/root/cimv2:rpm_package.name="glibc"'

       The create instance (ci) operation can be called using the following format example.  Property values can
       also be specified/add to the sytax.

        wbemcli                                                                                               ci
        'http://localhost:5988/root/cimv2:TST_InstanceProperties.CreationClassName="TST_InstanceProperties",Id="Instance
        #2"'      'CreationClassName="TST_InstanceProperties",Id="Instance     #2",Property_string2="This     is
        instance#2",Property_uint8=250'

       More command line examples can be found from the wbemcli/samples directory.

Host indirection support

       The scheme and host specification in the object path can be replaced by an arbitrary token that  will  be
       used  to  locate  the proper scheme and host specification in ./wbemcli.ind or any file specified via the
       WBEMCLI_IND environment variable.  The format of this file is as follows:

            <token>: <scheme>://[user:pwd@]<host>:<port>

       Assuming the following entry in ./wbemcli.ind:

            myCimom: http://localhost:5988

       The example in the previous section can then be specified as:

             wbemcli gi 'myCimom/root/cimv2:rpm_package.name="glibc"'

ENVIRONMENT

       WBEMCLI_CURL_SSLVERSION
              Specifies the SSL protocol that will be used.  Valid  values  are  SSLv2,  SSLv3,  TLSv1,  TLSv1.0
              (TLSv1_0),  TLSv1.1  (TLSv1_1)  or  TLSv1.2  (TLSv1_2).  If this variable is not set, wbemcli will
              attempt to figure out the remote SSL protocol version.

FILES

       /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
              The default CA certificate file. Can be overridden with -cacert.

EXIT CODES

       0      Normal termination.

       16     Abnormal termination, see diagnostics printed to the standard error.
