$namespace = openstack.image.v{1|2}
The subcommand documents for $namespace were hardcoded and thus prone to
drift over time. This commit removes the hardcoded content and uses the
autoprogram-cliff directive to generate them automatically from the
subcommand configuration classes.
Some reorganization happened here. The `image` subcommand name is shared
by image v1 and v2. Previously the hardcoded document had them combined
and interleaved. Attempting to preserve this with autoprogram-cliff
would have required significant additional infrastructure. However,
since most readers care completely about one and not at all about the
other, we instead split the v1 and v2 versions of these commands into
separate pages. In case links to the old pages exist in the wild, they
are preserved, but moved (with redirects) to a hidden directory, and
populated simply with links to the new version-specific generated
documents.

OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Network, Object Store and Block Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclientThere are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help:
openstack --helpThere is also a help command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server createIf you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution, make any changes and then run:
python setup.py developor:
pip install -e .Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=<user-domain-name>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-identity-api-version 3
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name>
--os-username <username>
--os-user-domain-name <user-domain-name>
[--os-password <password>]If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
