When launched in interactive mode, bveCLI supports the following commands.
connect <n.n.n.n> [ <port> ]
Establishes a TCP connection to specified BVE API server. If the port number is not specified, 7661 is used by default. This step can be skipped by specifying the --host and --port command-line parameters. If a matching entry is found in the configuration file, automatic login will be attempted. Once a connection has been established, the prompt reflects the host name/address and port.
login <username> [ <password> ]
Logs into the BVE API server using the specified credentials. If the password is omitted, bveCLI attempts to lookup a matching entry from the configuration file. Until a valid credential has been supplied, the prompt displays the user as unauth.
exit
Logs out of the API server and close TCP connection.
