Cone command line interface

===========================

ConE command line interface is desinged to offer different actions. A action can be anything that utilizes the ConE interface and 

somehow interacts with a Configuration Project. Each action has it's own set of command line arguments.

Calling ConE

------------

All ConE commands are wrapped up by the cone.cmd, which executes internally cone_tool.py. The cone_tool.py searches for all conesub_*.py 

matching files under the same scripts folder under cone installation. So basically adding a new action is just adding a new conesub_*.py file.

To get a list of all available cone commands run::

    cone -h

or::

    cone --help

And you will get something like this as output::

    Usage: ConE [action] [options].

    Use ConE [action] -h to get action specific help.
