The command-line client, vmwb-lbcli, has syntax consistent with tools like
git or
p4 from the command line, that is, you give the executable name, a command, command specific option, and then command specific arguments, if applicable.
There are many options that are common to various commands such as --project, which specifies the name of the project you are operating on, as well as
--resource which is the resource within the project. Many of these commands can inherit the values for the command from the environment, if certain environment variables are defined. For example, if you do not specify the
--resource option for a command that requires it, the value of the
VMLB_RESOURCE environment variable, if defined, will be used. See the help for particular commands to see which variables are applicable if you desire to use this facility.
