#### fce-ipmi simplifies interaction with `ipmitool`

fce-ipmi is a wrapper for `ipmitool` utility. Therefore you must have `ipmitool`
tool installed in your system.

The wrapper pulls necessary information about the machines, such as BMC
hostname / IP address, username and password from the YAML file. By default
`./config/nodes.yaml` file is parsed for this information. You can explicitly
specify the location of machines config file with an option
`-f, --machine-config`.

Alternatively, the file can be specified in the configuration file
(`~/.local/share/fce-ipmi/config`) as a vaulue of the key
`machine-config-path`. [NOT IMPLEMENTED]

This tool supports bash completion. Press `tab` key twice to display
available commands, parameters, machine names etc. [NOT IMPLEMENTED]
