SYNOPSIS

       wbemcli HOSTNAME [-u USERNAME -p PASSWORD] [-n NAMESPACE] [--no-ssl] [--port PORT]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the wbemcli command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.

       wbemcli is small utility to wrap up a PyWBEM session in a Python interactive console.

       CIM operations can be executed by using the PyWBEM connection object called 'cli' in the
       global scope. There are two sets of aliases available for usage in the interpreter. For
       example the following three commands are equivalent:

           >>> cli.EnumerateInstanceNames('SMX_ComputerSystem')
           >>> EnumerateInstanceNames('SMX_ComputerSystem')
           >>> ein('SMX_ComputerSystem')

       Pretty-printing of results is also available using the 'pp' function. For example:

           >>> cs = ei('SMX_ComputerSystem')[0]
           >>> pp(cs.items())
           [(u'RequestedState', 12L),
           (u'Dedicated', [1L]),
           (u'StatusDescriptions', [u'System is Functional']),
           (u'IdentifyingNumber', u'6F880AA1-F4F5-11D5-8C45-C0116FBAE02A'),
           ..
