# 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.
