# Python bindings to the OpenStack Manila API

This is a client for OpenStack Manila API. There’s a Python API (the `manilaclient` module) for programmatic access, and a command-line interface via the OpenStack CLI client. See Project Structure for more information.

You’ll need credentials for an OpenStack cloud that implements the Manila API in order to use the manila client.

## Command-Line Reference
