👑 EC2-DESCRIBE-EXPORT-TASKS(1) — bestie edition

okay so welcome to the User Commands manual, section 1, and today's main character is a little tool called ec2-describe-export-tasks. she lists your export tasks. she describes your export tasks. she eats. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ec2-describe-export-tasks — literally just: list and describe your export tasks. that's the whole job. no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ec2dxt ([ec2-describe-export-tasks])
ec2dxt [GENERAL OPTIONS] [EXPORT-TASK [EXPORT-TASK [...]]]

yes bestie, ec2dxt is the short lil nickname. she answers to both. 💖

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

okay this one's important so pay attention: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - and that means "bestie, read the values for this one off of stdin." every single one. iconic behavior honestly. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

List and describe your export tasks. that's it. that's the vibe.

the EXPORT-TASK parameter list is how you tell her which export task(s) you want described. name them, she describes them.

and if you specify nothing at all? she just returns all of your export tasks. she's generous like that. 😭✨

💅 GENERAL OPTIONS 💅

  • -O, --aws-access-key KEY — your AWS Access Key ID. defaults to whatever the AWS_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is set to (if it's set, that is).
  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to whatever AWS_SECRET_KEY is set to (if set).
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — your AWS delegation token. defaults to the value of the AWS_DELEGATION_TOKEN environment variable (if set).
  • -K, --private-key KEY — [DEPRECATED] specify KEY as the private key to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (if set). overrides the default. like… she still works but the ancestors are begging you to move on bestie. 💀
  • -C, --cert CERT — [DEPRECATED] specify CERT as the X509 certificate to use. defaults to the value of the EC2_CERT environment variable (if set). overrides the default. same energy, also deprecated, also still functional. 🙈
  • -U, --url URL — specify URL as the web service URL to use. defaults to 'https://ec2.amazonaws.com' (that's us-east-1) or to the value of the EC2_URL environment variable (if set). overrides the default. 💫
  • --region REGION — specify REGION as the web service region to use. this option will override the URL specified by the "-U URL" option and the EC2_URL environment variable — she's not subtle about it. defaults to the region specified by the EC2_URL environment variable, or us-east-1 if that env var isn't set. 👑
  • -D, --auth-dry-run — checks whether you can do the thing instead of actually doing the thing. vibes check, no commitment. 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. she talks more. we love when she talks more. 🗣️
  • -?, --help — display this help. she's helpful. ✨
  • -H, --headers — display column headers. labels on everything, organized queen. 📋
  • --debug — display additional debugging information. the tea, but technical. 🍓
  • --show-empty-fields — indicate empty fields. she will not let a blank go unnoticed. 😤
  • --hide-tags — do not display tags for tagged resources. hiding them, respectfully. 🙈
  • --connection-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a connection timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds). girl has a limit. ⏰
  • --request-timeout TIMEOUT — specify a request timeout TIMEOUT (in seconds). so does the request. ⏳

⭐ SPECIFIC OPTIONS ⭐

bestie… there are none. this section is empty. she said "general options only, I don't do specials." not a single specific option in sight. truly nothing. 🫥
