Eclat README
See the end of file for copying conditions.
* Introduction
Eclat stands for EC2 Command Line Administrator Tool. It allows you to
manage Amazon EC2 services from the command line, fast and easy. It does
not require resource-consuming libraries. It is written in plain C,
depends only on libraries which are always installed on any decent system,
and has low resource requirements.
* Actions
So far about 42% of EC2 actions is implemented. The set of actions is
somewhat arbitrary and reflects my needs. See the file TODO for the
detailed list of actions and their status. I will be adding new
actions as the need arises and my time permits. Given that the Eclat
framework in now mature and well established, implementing a new
action is quite straightforward and simple. If you are interested in
a particular action, drop me a note and I'll try to implement it out
of schedule (see the email at the end of this document).
* Documentation
Documentation in manpage format is available in the subdirectory doc.
It is installed as usual after make install.
Online copy of the documentation is available at
http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/eclat/manual.html
* Building
The following libraries are needed for Eclat:
* Curl, available from <http://curl.haxx.se>.
* Expat, avaliable from <http://www.libexpat.org>.
To compile, run the usual encantation:
./configure
make
make install
For information about the configure script and its generic options, refer to
the file INSTALL included in the distribution.
The following options are specific to this package:
--enable-split-format
Create a separate format file for each particular command. By default
the installation procedure builds a single file, which contains
instructions for each command supported by eclat. Use this option if
you wish to use separate files instead.
--with-gdbm
--without-gdbm
Build (don't build) GDBM translation map. By default it is built
if GNU DBM library and header file are present on the system.
Specifying --without-gdbm instructs configure not to build GDBM
translation map. The --with-gdbm option forces configure to abort
if GDBM is not present.
** Shell completion
To facilitate the use of the tool, the package includes a Bash script
that implements completion for Eclat commands. The script is named
compl.sh and is installed in pkgdatadir. To use it, source compl.sh
from your profile or bash startup file (either per-user or system-wide one,
at your option). For example, if the package is configured with /usr
as its prefix, add the following line
. /usr/share/eclat/compl.sh
Once done, you can use TAB to complete a partially typed command name.
* Bug reporting.
Send bug reports, propositions and action requests to
<bug-eclat@gnu.org.ua>.
