Required Options

I understand the irony (?) of having required options, but they're not technically required because they'll default to environmental variables, so having them as command line arguments is not an option.

Command Line Option	Environmental Variable
--url	OS_AUTH_URL
--project	OS_PROJECT_ID
--username	OS_AUTH_USER
--apikey	OS_AUTH_KEY

Simply typing 'os' will give you usage/help information. This would be the same as typing -h or --help:

$ os
usage: os [--url URL] [--username USERNAME] [--apikey APIKEY] [--project PROJECT]

Command-line interface for connecting to various OpenStack projects.

Correct authentication URL and credentials must be supplied before more detailed options can be given.

If correct username, api key, and URL is provided via environment variables:

$ os
usage: os <project>

Command-line interface for connecting to various OpenStack projects.
