DESCRIPTION
===========
The ``kea-shell`` provides a REST client for the Kea Control Agent (CA).
It takes command as a command-line parameter that is being sent to CA
with proper JSON encapsulation. Optional arguments may be specified on
the standard input. The request it sent of HTTP and a response is
retrieved. That response is displayed out on the standard output.
ARGUMENTS
=========
The arguments are as follows:
``-h``
Displays help regarding command line parameters.
``-v``
Display the version.
``--host``
Specifies the host to connect to. Control Agent must be running at
specified host. If not specified, 127.0.0.1 is used.
``--port``
Specifies the TCP port to connect to. Control Agent must be listening
at specified port. If not specified, 8000 is used.
``--path``
Specifies the path in the URL to connect to. If not specified, empty
path is used. As Control Agent listens at the empty path this
parameter is useful only with a reverse proxy.
``--timeout``
Specifies the connection timeout in seconds. If not specified, 10
(seconds) is used.
``--service``
Specifies the service that is the target of a command. If not
specified, Control Agent will be targeted. May be used more than once
to specify multiple targets.
``command``
Specifies the command to be sent to CA. If not specified,
"list-commands" is used.
