Vault Commands (CLI)
Vault is controlled via a very easy to use command-line interface (CLI).
Vault is only a single command-line application: vault. This application
then takes a subcommand such as "read" or "write". The complete list of
subcommands is in the navigation to the left.
The Vault CLI is a well-behaved command line application. In erroneous cases,
a non-zero exit status will be returned. It also responds to -h and --help
as you'd most likely expect.
To view a list of the available commands at any time, just run Vault
with no arguments. To get help for any specific subcommand, run the subcommand
with the -h argument.
The help output is very comprehensive, so we defer you to that for documentation. We've included some guides to the left of common interactions with the CLI.
Autocompletion
The vault command features opt-in subcommand autocompletion that you can
enable for your shell with vault -autocomplete-install. After doing so,
you can invoke a new shell and use the feature.
For example, assume a tab is typed at the end of each prompt line:
$ vault au
audit-disable audit-enable audit-list auth auth-disable auth-enable
$ vault s
seal server ssh status step-down
