      Description:
        Cloudmesh has the ability to manage easily multiple
        clouds. One of the key concepts to manage multiple clouds
        is to use defaults for the cloud, the images, flavors,
        and other values. The default command is used to manage
        such default values. These defaults are used in other commands
        if they are not overwritten by a command parameter.

        The current default values can by listed with

            default list --all

        Via the default command you can list, set, get and delete
        default values. You can list the defaults with

           default list

        A default can be set with

            default KEY=VALUE

        To look up a default value you can say

            default KEY

        A default can be deleted with

            default delete KEY

        To be specific to a cloud you can specify the name of the
        cloud with the --cloud=CLOUD option. The list command can
        print the information in various formats iv specified.

      Examples:
        default list --all
            lists all default values

        default list --cloud=kilo
            lists the defaults for the cloud with the name kilo

        default image=xyz
            sets the default image for the default cloud to xyz

        default image=abc --cloud=kilo
            sets the default image for the cloud kilo to xyz

        default image
            list the default image of the default cloud

        default image --cloud=kilo
            list the default image of the cloud kilo

        default delete image
            deletes the value for the default image in the
            default cloud

        default delete image --cloud=kilo
            deletes the value for the default image in the
            cloud kilo
