command is the name of the command corresponding to the operation chunkd should perform: get put del ping checkstatus checkstart

OPTIONS

-? --help
Shows a short help message.

-i --input

If the command is copy (CP), this represents the destination key.
-s --src
Obtain source-key portion of a source-key/source-value pair from the specified file, rather than the command line. Keys provided on the command line (as opposed to via -s) are stored with a C-style nul terminating character appended, adding 1 byte to each key.

List all supported commands, and a short command usage synopsis.
-o --output

CONFIG FILE

To avoid repeating commonly specified command line options such as --host or --table a key=value text configuration file facility is available.
The format of the config file is similar to .INI files, a simple
key=value text file divided into sections by [ section names surrounded by brackets ]
Our configuration file is headed by a single section, [global],
followed by zero or more of the following key=value pairs:
host=HOST:PORT
Mimics --host
table=my_table_name
Mimics --table
username=guest
Mimics --user
password=hello
Specifies password for authentication.
verbose=1
Mimics --verbose.
ssl=1
Mimics --ssl.
debug=1
Mimics --debug.
