# General Vault Links and Commands

## Useful commands

Display the `curl` equivalent of a Vault CLI command:

```bash
vault <any_command> -output-curl-string
```

The following are equivalent:

```bash
curl -s -H "X-Vault-Request: true" -H "X-Vault-Token: $VAULT_TOKEN" "https://vault.koszewscy.waw.pl/v1/auth/userpass/users?list=true"
```

and

```bash
curl -s -X LIST -H "X-Vault-Request: true" -H "X-Vault-Token: $VAULT_TOKEN" https://vault.koszewscy.waw.pl/v1/auth/userpass/users
```

because the Vault uses non-standard HTTP method `LIST` for listing resources.
