🦋 GENERAL NOTES 🦋

okay so this is the little rule that applies everywhere: any command option or parameter can be handed a value of - and that means "bestie please read the values for that option from stdin". every option. every parameter. go off. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Display the instance's console output. literally that's the whole job. 💖

the INSTANCE parameter is the ID of the instance's console you wanna retrieve. so like, which one. you gotta tell her which one. 🙈

👑 GENERAL OPTIONS 👑

  • -W, --aws-secret-key KEY — your AWS Secret Access Key. defaults to the value of the AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variable (if set). 🤫
  • -T, --security-token TOKEN — 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. 💀

💅 SPECIFIC OPTIONS 💅

  • -r, --raw-console-output — raw output. do not escape the console output. if this is not specified, ^ESC is escaped and multiple blank-lines are folded into one. so yeah, if you want the untouched, unfiltered, no-edits version, pass -r. 🌈
