AZUREMETADATA(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

azuremetadata — query Microsoft Azure metadata server. And hiii bestie, you're on the azuremetadata.1 manual page, so let's get into it 💖.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

azuremetadata [option]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so azuremetadata is the tool you use to query the Microsoft Azure metadata server. The available data is documented at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service. This tool lets you filter specific metadata fields via command line options, and those options are generated dynamically based on the data available for each API version. slay ✨.

💅 STATIC OPTIONS 💅

These are the fixed ones, no cap:

• -a --api [VERSION] — specify the metadata API version to be queried. If you don't set it, the oldest available version is used by default (2017-03-01).
• -h, --help — print all available command line options to standard out.
• -x, --xml — output the result as XML.
• -j, --json — output the result as JSON.
• -o , --output [OUTPUT] — output file path. If not set, the output is printed to STDOUT.
• --device [DEVICE] — path to the device to read disk tag from. If not set, the disk tag will be read from the root device.

🦋 DYNAMIC OPTIONS 🦋

Dynamic command line options are listed in the --help output. An API version can be specified, and the produced dynamic options list will be specific to that API version. iykyk 😌.

that's the whole azuremetadata.1 page, bestie — the footer just repeats the manual name and doesn't add a separate source/version or date, so this is the cute sign-off 🫶🌈💅
