designate command line tool - examples
======================================

Using the client against your dev environment
---------------------------------------------
Typically the designate client talks to Keystone (or a Keystone like service) via the OS_AUTH_URL setting & retrives the designate endpoint from the returned service catalog.  Using ``--os-endpoint`` or ``OS_ENDPOINT`` you can specify the end point directly, this is useful if you want to point the client at a test environment that's running without a full Keystone service.
