Examples

List capabilities for the local token on the "secret/foo" path:

$ vault token capabilities secret/foo
read

List capabilities for a token on the "cubbyhole/foo" path:

$ vault token capabilities 96ddf4bc-d217-f3ba-f9bd-017055595017 database/creds/readonly
deny

Usage

The following flags are available in addition to the standard set of flags included on all commands.
