NAME
       wbemcli - utility to wrap up a PyWBEM session in a Python interactive console

SYNOPSIS
       wbemcli HOSTNAME [-u USERNAME -p PASSWORD] [-n NAMESPACE] [--no-ssl] [--port PORT]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the wbemcli command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       wbemcli is small utility to wrap up a PyWBEM session in a Python interactive console.

       CIM operations can be executed by using the PyWBEM connection object called 'cli' in the global scope. There are two sets of aliases
       available for usage in the interpreter. For example the following three commands are equivalent:

	   >>> cli.EnumerateInstanceNames('SMX_ComputerSystem')
	   >>> EnumerateInstanceNames('SMX_ComputerSystem')
	   >>> ein('SMX_ComputerSystem')

       Pretty-printing of results is also available using the 'pp' function. For example:

	   >>> cs = ei('SMX_ComputerSystem')[0]
	   >>> pp(cs.items())
	   [(u'RequestedState', 12L),
	   (u'Dedicated', [1L]),
	   (u'StatusDescriptions', [u'System is Functional']),
	   (u'IdentifyingNumber', u'6F880AA1-F4F5-11D5-8C45-C0116FBAE02A'),
	   ..
