so like. you can call it as ec2prio on its own, or as ec2prio ec2-purchase-reserved-instances-offering, and then the real form is with your general options plus the count and the offering, and optionally the limit price 💖

🎀 GENERAL NOTES 🎀

okay this is genuinely iconic: any command option or parameter can be passed a value of - to say "hey, read the values for this option from stdin instead". literally any of them. so flexible. so main character 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

you're purchasing reserved instances from a reserved instances offering. that's the whole job. go buy them bestie 💸

👑 GENERAL OPTIONS 👑

these are the shared ones, the little friend group that every tool in the kit rolls with ✨
