# vault
> A CLI to interact with HashiCorp Vault.
- Connect to a Vault server and initialize a new encrypted data store:
`vault init`
- Unseal or 'unlock' the vault by providing one of the key shares needed to access the encrypted data store:
`vault unseal {{key-share-x}}`
- Authenticate the CLI client against the Vault server using an authentication token:
`vault auth {{authentication-token}}`
- Store a new secret in the vault using the generic back-end, called 'secret':
`vault write secret/{{hello}} value={{world}}`
- Read a value from the vault using the generic back-end, called 'secret':
`vault read secret/{{hello}}`
- Seal or 'lock' the Vault server by removing the encryption key of the data store from memory:
`vault seal`
