DESCRIPTION

           Describes the specified Auto Scaling instances, if the instances exist.

ARGUMENTS

        InstanceIds
           Optional list of instances to be described.                        If
           this list is omitted, all instances are described.
           The list of requested instances cannot be greater than 50 items.
                        If unknown instances are requested, they are ignored with no
           error.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

        --max-records VALUE
           Maximum number of instances that will be described with each call
           (default = 20, max = 50).

GENERAL OPTIONS

        --aws-credential-file VALUE
           Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

        -C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
           Path to the file holding the X.509 certificate. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

        --connection-timeout VALUE
           Connection timeout (in seconds). The default value is '30'.

        --delimiter VALUE
           The delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

        -H, --headers
           For displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the column
           headers. For displaying XML results, it returns the HTTP headers from the
           service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

        -I, --access-key-id VALUE
           The AWS access ID to use.

        -K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
           Path to the file holding the X.509 private key. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

        --region VALUE
           Amazon EC2 region to use. This value can be set by using the environment
           variable 'EC2_REGION'.

        -S, --secret-key VALUE
           The AWS Secret Key to use.

        --show-empty-fields
           Shows empty fields and rows, using a (nil) value. The default is to not
           show empty fields or columns.

        --show-request
           Displays the URL the tools used to call the AWS Service. The default
           value is 'false'.

        --show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
           The way in which the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long),
           XML or no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
           column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
           by a character, XML is the raw return from the service and quiet
           suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

        -U, --url VALUE
           This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
           value can be set by using the environment variable
           'AWS_AUTO_SCALING_URL'.
