### pywbemcli Interactive Shell Session Example

Source: https://pywbemtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_sources/pywbemcli/cmdlineinterface.rst.txt

Shows a typical session in the pywbemcli interactive shell, including starting the shell, executing commands like 'class enumerate' and 'class get', and exiting the shell.

```text
$ pywbemcli -s http://localhost -d root/cimv2 -u username

pywbemcli> class enumerate --no
. . . <Enumeration of class names in the default namespace>

pywbemcli> class get CIM_System
. . . <Class CIM_System in the default namespace in MOF format>

pywbemcli> :q
```

### Define and Use a Mock WBEM Server

Source: https://pywbemtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_sources/pywbemcli/generaloptions.rst.txt

This example demonstrates how to define a mock WBEM server using MOF and Python files, and then save and inspect the connection. The mock server definition speeds up loading when pywbemcli starts.

```text
$ pywbemcli --mock-server classdefs.mof --mock-server insts.py --default-namespace root/myhome

pywbemcli> connection show
name: not-saved (current)
  server:
  mock-server: classdefs.mof, insts.py
  . . .

pywbemcli> connection save mymockserver
pywbemcli> connection show
Connection status:
name               value  (state)
-----------------  ------------------------------------------

### Setup Mock WBEM Server with Dependent Files

Source: https://pywbemtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pywbemcli/mock_support.html

This example demonstrates how to set up a mock WBEM server by registering dependent files, including the script file itself. This is applicable for Python versions 3.5 and above using the `__file__` attribute.

```python
def _setup(conn, server, verbose):

    ...
    # Note: this only works for new-style scripts
    interop_mof_file = 'mock_interop.mof'
    this_file_path = __file__

    register_dependents(conn, this_file_path, interop_mof_file)
```

```python
def _setup(conn, server, verbose):

    . . .

    # Note: This only works for Python gt version 3.5 using __file__
    this_file_path = __file__

    # Register the script file itself and any other files used in the script.
    register_dependents(conn, this_file_path, <file-used-in-script>)
```

--------------------------------

### pywbemcli instance create Help

Source: https://pywbemtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pywbemcli/cmdshelp.html

Displays help for the `pywbemcli instance create` command. Use this to understand how to create CIM instances, specify properties, and set the namespace.

```text
Usage: pywbemcli [GENERAL-OPTIONS] instance create CLASSNAME [COMMAND-OPTIONS]

  Create an instance of a class in a namespace.

  Create a CIM instance of the specified creation class (CLASSNAME argument) in the specified CIM namespace (--namespace
  option), with the specified properties (--property options) and display the CIM instance path of the created instance.
  If no namespace was specified, the default namespace of the connection is used.

  The properties to be initialized and their new values are specified using the --property option, which may be
  specified multiple times.

  Pywbemcli retrieves the class definition from the server in order to verify that the specified properties are
  consistent with the property characteristics in the class definition.

  Example:

    pywbemcli instance create CIM_blah -P id=3 -P arr="bla bla",foo

Command Options:
  -p, --property PROPERTYNAME=VALUE
                                  Initial property value for the new instance. May be specified multiple times. Array
                                  property values are specified as a comma-separated list; embedded instances are not
                                  supported. Default: No initial properties provided.
  -V, --verify                    Prompt for confirmation before performing a change, to allow for verification of
                                  parameters. Default: Do not prompt for confirmation.
  -n, --namespace NAMESPACE       Namespace to use for this command, instead of the default namespace of the connection.
  -h, --help                      Show this help message.


```
