Command Reference¶

shark-cli organises commands by OpenStack service. Every command supports --help for inline documentation.

shark --help              # List all command groups
shark server --help       # List all server sub-commands
shark server create --help  # Detailed help for a specific command

Command Groups¶

Common Patterns¶

Confirmation prompts¶

Destructive commands (delete, remove) ask for confirmation. Skip with -y:

shark server delete <id> -y
shark loadbalancer delete <id> --cascade -y

Output format¶

All commands output rich, coloured tables. Pipe to less -R for paging:

shark server list | less -R
