DESCRIPTION

wbemcli is a command line based CIM Client. It uses one of the gc|gcd|dc|ec|ecn|gi|ci|mi|di|ei|ein|ai|ain|ri|rin|gp|sp|cm|cmx operations and the fully qualified path to the CIM Object to get to the host and execute the specified operation. This implementation is CIMOM library independent and can be used with all WBEM compliant CIMOM implementations. The objectPath parameter is used to locate the CIM object and has the following format:

	<scheme>://[user:pwd@]<host>:<port>/<namespace[/..]>:<classname>[.<key=value[,..]>]

The objectPath should be enclosed in single quotes so that double quoted

strings are perserved by the command line shell. Refer to the examples section.

The only scheme supported is http. Example:

	http://krz:xyz@localhost:5988/root/cimv2:rpm_package.name=glibc

The prop=value[,...] parameter is used to specify <Property>=<Value> pairs for the ci, mi and sp operations. Only one <Property>=<Value> pair must be specified for the sp operation.

Example:

stringProp=a string,booleanProp=true,numericProp=25

Arrays of property values are supported by specifying additional values

separated by commas

Example:

stringProp=a string,another string,numericProp=25,49,12

The prop[,...] parameter specifies the properties to be returned. One prop must be specified for the gp operation. For other operations this parameter is optional, if none are specified all properties will be returned.

Example:

stringProp,booleanProp,numericProp

The method[.param=value[,...] parameter is used to specify <Parameter>=<Value> pairs for the cm operation.

Example:

Method2Execute.stringParam=a string,booleanParam=true,numericParam=25

Arrays of property values are supported by specifying additional values

separated by commas

Example:

Method2Execute.stringParam=a string,another string,numericParam=25,49,12

-clientkey

Client private key file (required if -clientcert is specified)

-ac

association class name (ai, ain only)

-arc

result class name (ai, ain, rin, ri only)

-ar

role name (ai, ain, rin, ri only)

-arr

result role name (ai, ain only)

LIBRARIES

wbemcli requires either libghttp, libwww, or winhttp, depending on build options used.

Example

To get all instances of rpm_packages, i.e. all installed rpm packages on the local system, the following command can be used:

wbemcli ei 'http://localhost:5988/root/cimv2:rpm_package'

The get instance operation can be specified to get more information about a certain package:

wbemcli gi 'http://localhost:5988/root/cimv2:rpm_package.name=glibc'

The create instance (ci) operation can be called using the following format example. Property values can also be specified/add to the sytax.

wbemcli ci 'http://localhost:5988/root/cimv2:TST_InstanceProperties.CreationClassName=TST_InstanceProperties,Id=Instance #2' 'CreationClassName=TST_InstanceProperties,Id=Instance #2,Property_string2=This is instance#2,Property_uint8=250'

More command line examples can be found from the wbemcli/samples directory.

Host indirection support

The scheme and host specification in the object path can be replaced by an arbitrary token that will be used to locate the proper scheme and host specification in ./wbemcli.ind or any file specified via the WBEMCLI_IND environment variable. The format of this file is as follows:

        <token>: <scheme>://[user:pwd@]<host>:<port>

Assuming the following entry in ./wbemcli.ind:

       myCimom: http://localhost:5988

The example in the previous section can then be specified as:

       wbemcli gi 'myCimom/root/cimv2:rpm_package.name="glibc"'

FILES

/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

The default CA certificate file. Can be overridden with -cacert.
