Command line options

In the vSSH CLI, command line options are global parameters you can use to override the default configuration settings, any corresponding profile setting, or environment variable setting for that single command. You can't use command line options to directly specify credentials, although you can specify which profile to use.

How to use command line options?

Most command line options are simple strings, such as the profile name my_profile in the following example:

$ vssh login --profile my_profile

Each option that takes an argument requires a space separating the argument from the option name. If the argument value is a string that contains a space, you must use quotation marks around the argument.
