Command line syntax has remained relatively the same as with prior 
releases of Pancho. The tool has no default action, so at the very 
minimum one of --upload, --download, --commit or --reload must be
specified on the command line.

A short synopsis of cli flags and their use, is as follows:

  --upload/--download
  Specified individually, never together these options specify whether
  a request will be made for the remote device to send (download) its
  configuration to a remote server, or to pull (upload) a config.

  --commit
  In instances where a device needs to have its current configuration 
  written to a permanent area such that it will survive a reload.

  --start
  If a device supports uploading and downloading configuration to and from
  its startup configuration area, rather than affecting its current run-
  ning configuration.

  --reload
  Used to request an immediate reset of a device if the option is supported.

  --filename
  Used to specify an individual file to be sent (uploaded) to a remote
  device or group of devices. If unspecified, the filename defaults to
  (hostname).cfg or whatever string is specified using the style option.

  --host
  Used to select an individual node from within the configuration file 
  to be effected.

  --group
  Used to select a group of nodes from within the configuration file
  based on their 'Group' parameter.

  --regex
  Select a group of nodes using POSIX regular expressions as criteria
  for which are effected.

  --path
  Specify a path beginning from the tftp root directory where config-
  urations should be read or written.

  --fork
  For large groups of nodes, allow for multiple instances of Pancho to
  run simultaneously in an effort to speed up the batch.

  --vlan
  Used to initiate a transfer of a device's vlan.dat file to or from
  the server. A device must be configured with the Vlan config file 
  option in order for this flag take effect on it.

  --config
  Specify the configuration file to read from.

  --pre
  Used to tell Pancho to run the pre command specified in the configuration file
  It is also possible to specify the pre command to run after this argument to
  override the configuration setting.

  --post
  Used to tell Pancho to run the post command specified in the configuration file
  It is also possible to specify the post command to run after this argument to
  override the configuration setting.

  --tftpserver
  Used to specify an alternative tftp server other than what is specified
  within the configuration file or used with --no-configfile

  --version
  Causes Pancho to return the current version revision.

  --help
  Returns a short list of command line options.

  The following flags were added to provide a way for an external program to easily
  invoke Pancho without the need for a configuration file.

  --no-configfile
  Tells Pancho not to try to read the configuration file.

  --snmp-version
  Specify the snmp version to use.  Defaults to version 1.

  --snmp-community
  Specify the snmp community string for read-write access.
  
  --snmp-mtu
  Specify the snmp mtu size.

  --snmp-retry
  Specify the snmp retry number.

  --snmp-wait
  Specify the snmp timeout period.

  --snmp-user
  Specify the snmp version 3 user.

  --snmp-authkey
  Specify the snmp version 3 key.

  --snmp-authpasswd
  Specify the snmp version 3 password.

  --snmp-authprotocol
  Specify the snmp version 3 hash algorithm to use.  This must be either md5 or 
  sha1.
