This is a client for the OpenStack Cinder API. There's a Python API (the
``cinderclient`` module), and a command-line script (``cinder``). Each
implements 100% of the OpenStack Cinder API.
See the `OpenStack CLI Reference`_ for information on how to use the ``cinder``
command-line tool. You may also want to look at the
`OpenStack API documentation`_.

.. _OpenStack API documentation: http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref.html
The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed. The code is
hosted on `OpenStack`_. Patches must be submitted using `Gerrit`_.

Command-line API
----------------
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``cinder``, that you
can use to interact with any Rackspace compatible API (including OpenStack).
You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this
with the ``--os-username``, ``--os-password`` and ``--os-tenant-name``
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables::
export OS_USERNAME=openstack
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os-auth-url``
and the version of the API with ``--os-volume-api-version``. Or set them as
environment variables as well::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:8774/v1.1/
export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=1
If you are using Keystone, you need to set the OS_AUTH_URL to the keystone
endpoint::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0/
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with ``--os-region-name`` (or
``export OS_REGION_NAME``). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``cinder help``::
usage: cinder [--debug] [--os-username <auth-user-name>]
[--os-password <auth-password>]
[--os-tenant-name <auth-tenant-name>] [--os-auth-url <auth-url>]
[--os-region-name <region-name>] [--service-type <service-type>]
[--service-name <service-name>]
[--volume-service-name <volume-service-name>]
[--endpoint-type <endpoint-type>]
[--os-volume-api-version <compute-api-ver>]
[--os-cacert <ca-certificate>] [--retries <retries>]

Python API
----------
There's also a complete Python API, but it has not yet been documented.
Quick-start using keystone::
# use v2.0 auth with http://example.com:5000/v2.0/
>>> from cinderclient.v1 import client
>>> nt = client.Client(USER, PASS, TENANT, AUTH_URL, service_type="volume")
>>> nt.volumes.list()
[...]
