     7  ## rclone rc
     8  
     9  Run a command against a running rclone.
    10  
    11  ### Synopsis
    12  
    13  
    14  
    15  This runs a command against a running rclone.  Use the --url flag to
    16  specify an non default URL to connect on.  This can be either a
    17  ":port" which is taken to mean "http://localhost:port" or a
    18  "host:port" which is taken to mean "http://host:port"
    19  
    20  A username and password can be passed in with --user and --pass.
    21  
    22  Note that --rc-addr, --rc-user, --rc-pass will be read also for --url,
    23  --user, --pass.
    24  
    25  Arguments should be passed in as parameter=value.
    26  
    27  The result will be returned as a JSON object by default.
    28  
    29  The --json parameter can be used to pass in a JSON blob as an input
    30  instead of key=value arguments.  This is the only way of passing in
    31  more complicated values.
    32  
    33  Use --loopback to connect to the rclone instance running "rclone rc".
    34  This is very useful for testing commands without having to run an
    35  rclone rc server, eg:
    36  
    37      rclone rc --loopback operations/about fs=/
    38  
    39  Use "rclone rc" to see a list of all possible commands.
