Using AVCLI Help

This topic describes how to use AVCLI help.

Listing All Commands

To list all available AVCLI commands, type:

$ avcli help

The output follows:

For example, if you type:

Create a new VM.

If you type a valid command with an invalid argument, AVCLI displays the same output as if you had specified help for the command.
