+==============================
+:program:`escalator` CLI man page
+==============================
+
+.. program:: escalator
+.. highlight:: bash
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+:program:`escalator` [options] <command> [command-options]
+
+:program:`escalator help`
+
+:program:`escalator help` <command>
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+The :program:`escalator` command line utility interacts with OpenStack Images
+Service (escalator).
+
+In order to use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password,
+project (historically called tenant), and auth endpoint. You can use
+configuration options :option:`--os-username`, :option:`--os-password`,
+:option:`--os-tenant-id`, and :option:`--os-auth-url` or set corresponding
+environment variables::
+
+    export OS_USERNAME=user
+    export OS_PASSWORD=pass
+    export OS_TENANT_ID=b363706f891f48019483f8bd6503c54b
+    export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0
+
+The command line tool will attempt to reauthenticate using provided
+credentials for every request. You can override this behavior by manually
+supplying an auth token using :option:`--os-image-url` and
+:option:`--os-auth-token` or by setting corresponding environment variables::
+
+    export OS_IMAGE_URL=http://escalator.example.org:9292/
+    export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155
+
+
+You can select an API version to use by :option:`--os-image-api-version`
+option or by setting corresponding environment variable::
+
+    export OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION=2
