💖 wbemcat — a multi-protocol CIM-XML client 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to wbemcat, straight outta the General Commands Manual (section 1, she's official ✨). this is the page for the wbemcat command, and yes we're getting into all of it, no skips, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wbemcat — a multi-protocol CIM-XML client 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wbemcatX [options] [FILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, what does she do? This is a utility that takes a raw CIM-XML request FILE, yeets it at a CIMOM, and shows you the response/results. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

The default CIMOM is http://localhost:5988 — that's where she goes if you don't tell her otherwise.

If you don't hand her an input file? No stress, she'll just grab the XML data from stdin. 🫶

and a lil lore drop for you: this used to be the wbemcatX utility before it officially replaced the original. glow-up complete, honestly. ✨

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -t, --protocol=PROTOCOL — the protocol you wanna connect with. Default is http.
  • -h, --host=HOSTNAME — name of the host that's running the CIMOM. Default is localhost.
  • -p, --port=PORT — the port the CIMOM is listening on. Default is 5988.
  • -?, --help — display the help message and exit. classic. 🙈

💜 PREREQUISITES 💜
