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
           Location of your EC2 certificate file. This value can be set by using the
           environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

           What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

        --headers
           If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
           column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
           headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

        -I, --access-key-id VALUE
           Specify VALUE as the AWS Access Id to use.

           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
           Specify how 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. The xml is the raw return from the service, while 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
