Eclat README
Copyright (C) 2012 Sergey Poznyakoff
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 a tiny memory footprint.

* Documentation

Several man pages are ready.  Most are to be written yet.

* 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 option is 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.

** 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.
