Openwsman command line client

Motivation

The primary purpose of this repository is sample code for the Openwsman client libraries (C and C++)

The secondary (and arguably more useful) purpose is a command line client for running WSMAN requests.

However, it is recommended to use the Openwsman language bindings (available for Ruby, Perl, Python, Java) for more serious wsman usage.

How to build

Install the openwsman client libraries before attempting to compile.

This follows standard GNU autotools principles and can be compiled as follows

./bootstrap
./configure
make

It will produce a wsman binary below src

Examples for Openwsman C++ API

Openwsman comes with a(n incomplete) C++ API implemented as libwsman_clientpp.so.1

The examples subdirectory contains sample code for using this API.
