The :program:`manila` shell utility
=========================================
.. program:: manila
.. highlight:: bash
The :program:`manila` shell utility interacts with the OpenStack Manila API
from the command line. It supports the entirety of the OpenStack Manila API.
You'll need to provide :program:`manila` with your OpenStack username and
API key. You can do this with the :option:`--os-username`, :option:`--os-password`
and :option:`--os-tenant-name` options, but it's easier to just set them as
environment variables by setting two environment variables:
.. envvar:: OS_USERNAME or MANILA_USERNAME
Your OpenStack Manila username.
.. envvar:: OS_PASSWORD or MANILA_PASSWORD
Your password.
.. envvar:: OS_TENANT_NAME or MANILA_PROJECT_ID
Project for work.
.. envvar:: OS_AUTH_URL or MANILA_URL
The OpenStack API server URL.
.. envvar:: OS_SHARE_API_VERSION
The OpenStack Shared Filesystems API version.
For example, in Bash you'd use::
export OS_USERNAME=foo
export OS_PASSWORD=bar
export OS_TENANT_NAME=foobarproject
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://...
export OS_SHARE_API_VERSION=1
From there, all shell commands take the form::
manila <command> [arguments...]
Run :program:`manila help` to get a full list of all possible commands,
and run :program:`manila help <command>` to get detailed help for that
command.
