## Description

Openwsman provides a command-line tool, `wsman`, to perform basic operations on the command-line. These operations include `Get`, `Put`, `Invoke`, `Identify`, `Delete`, `Create`, and `Enumerate`. The command-line tool also has several switches to allow for optional features of the WS-Management specification and Testing.

## Options

All `wsman` operations require and `action` and a group of options. The `resource uri` is required for the `Identify` action, otherwise it is required for all actions.

### Support Actions

get

- Creates and sends a Get request to the specified remote system. In most cases this action requires a `resource uri` with a set of selectors which can be specfied as query paramters in the URI (See below for examples).

  The result of this action is an XML output of the envelope with the resource and its properties.

put

- Creates and sends a Put request to the specified remote system. In most cases this action requires a `resource uri` with a set of selectors which can be specfied as query paramters in the URI (See below for examples). This action also requires input which can be specified either as properties or as an XML input representing the new resource.

  The result of this action is an XML output of the envelope with the new resource and its properties.

invoke

- Creates and sends a request with a custom action to the specified remote system. In most cases this action requires a `resource uri` with a set of selectors which can be specfied as query paramters in the URI (See below for examples). This action also requires input which can be specified either as properties or as an XML input representing the arguments of the custom action.

  The result of this action is an XML output of the envelope with the output of the custom action.

enumerate

- Creates and sends an Enumeration request to the specified remote system. This action also peforms Pull actions using the `enumeration context` provided by the enumeration response and following pull responses.

  The result of this action is an XML output of the envelope with the resource or resources and its/their properties.
