Usage

Command Line Interface
======================
.. note::
Where a prompt starts with ``(kayobe)`` it is implied that the user has
activated the Kayobe virtualenv. This can be done as follows::
$ source kayobe/bin/activate
To deactivate the virtualenv::
(kayobe) $ deactivate
To see information on how to use the ``kayobe`` CLI and the commands it
provides::
(kayobe) $ kayobe help
As the ``kayobe`` CLI is based on the ``cliff`` package (as used by the
``openstack`` client), it supports tab auto-completion of subcommands. This
can be activated by generating and then sourcing the bash completion script::
(kayobe) $ kayobe complete > kayobe-complete
(kayobe) $ source kayobe-complete
Working with Ansible Vault
--------------------------
If Ansible vault has been used to encrypt Kayobe configuration files, it will
be necessary to provide the ``kayobe`` command with access to vault password.
There are three options for doing this:
Prompt
Use ``kayobe --ask-vault-pass`` to prompt for the password.
File
Use ``kayobe --vault-password-file <file>`` to read the password from a
(plain text) file.
Environment variable
Export the environment variable ``KAYOBE_VAULT_PASSWORD`` to read the
password from the environment.
