## kubectl
The ```kubectl``` command provides command line access to the kubernetes API.
### Commands
#### version
Print the version of the client and server.
Usage:
```
kubectl version [flags]
Available Flags:
--api-version="v1beta1": The version of the API to use against the server
-a, --auth-path="/Users/bburns/.kubernetes_auth": Path to the auth info file. If missing, prompt the user. Only used if using https.
--certificate-authority="": Path to a certificate file for the certificate authority
-c, --client=false: Client version only (no server required)
--client-certificate="": Path to a client certificate for TLS.
--client-key="": Path to a client key file for TLS.
-h, --help=false: help for version
--insecure-skip-tls-verify=false: If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure.

```
#### get
Display one or more resources
Possible resources include pods (po), replication controllers (rc), services
(se), minions (mi), or events (ev).
If you specify a Go template, you can use any fields defined for the API version
you are connecting to the server with.
Examples:
```sh
$ kubectl get pods
<list all pods in ps output format>
$ kubectl get replicationController 1234-56-7890-234234-456456

submits an update to a resource right when you submit a delete, their update
will be lost along with the rest of the resource.
Examples:
```sh
$ kubectl delete -f pod.json
<delete a pod using the type and id pod.json>
$ cat pod.json | kubectl delete -f -
