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.
