InSpec CLI
=====================================================
Use the InSpec CLI to run audit tests against targets using locally, SSH, |winrm|, or on |docker| containers.
Common Options
=====================================================
The following options may be used with any of the InSpec CLI subcommands:
``-b``, ``--backend``
Specify the backend. Possible values: ``local`` (default), ``ssh``, ``winrm``, or ``docker``.
``--disable_sudo``
Use to prevent remote scanning via sudo. Default value: ``false``.
``--host``
The remote host to be tested.
``--key``
The login key or certificate file required for remote scanning.
``--password``
The login password for remote scanning.
``--path``
The login path used to connect to the target.
``--port``
The port over which remote scanning will occur.
``--self_signed``
Use to allow remote scanning with self-signed certificates for |winrm| targets. Default value: ``false``.
``--ssl``
Use to require transport-layer encryption via SSL for |winrm| targets. Default value: ``false``.
``--sudo_options``
Additional options that may be required by the sudo password for remote scanning. Default value: ``''``.
``--sudo_password``
The sudo password, if required.
``-t``, ``--target``
The URI for the target of a remote scan, preceded by the target's backend. For example: ``backend://user:pass@host:port``, where ``backend`` is one of ``docker``, ``local``, ``ssh``, or ``winrm``.
``--user``
The login user for remote scanning.
check
=====================================================
Use ``inspec check`` to run all tests at the specified path.
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
This subcommand has the following syntax:
.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec check PATH (options)
where:
* ``PATH`` is the location against which tests are run
detect
=====================================================
Use ``inspec detect`` to detect the platform for the target.
For example, if the configuration on the target is:
.. code-block:: bash
id=$( docker run -dti ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash )
the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec detect -t docker://$id
will return:
.. code-block:: javascript
{"family":"ubuntu","release":"14.04","arch":null}
exec
=====================================================
Use ``inspec exec`` to run all tests at the specified path.
Syntax
-----------------------------------------------------
This subcommand has the following syntax:
.. code-block:: bash

where:
* ``PATHS`` is one (or more) locations against which tests are run
Options
-----------------------------------------------------
This subcommand has additional options:
``--id``
Use to attach a profile identifier to all test results.
Examples
-----------------------------------------------------
The following examples show how to use this subcommand.
**Run a test locally**
.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec exec test.rb
**Run a test on a remote host using SSH**
.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec exec test.rb -t ssh://user@hostname
**Run a test on a remote host using WinRM**
.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec exec test.rb -t winrm://Administrator@windowshost --password 'password'
**Run a test against a Docker container**
.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec exec test.rb -t docker://container_id
help
=====================================================
Use ``inspec help`` to print help for the |ctl inspec| from the command shell.
json
=====================================================
Use ``inspec json`` to read all tests at the specified path, and then generate a |json| profile to standard output (stdout) or printed to the command shell.

.. code-block:: bash
$ inspec json PATH (options)
where:
* ``PATH`` is the location against which tests are run

This subcommand has additional options:
``--id``
Use to attach a profile identifier to all test results.
``-o``, ``--output``
