    my $cdmi = CDMIClient->new_for_script(%options);

Construct a new CDMI client object for a command-line script. This method uses a call to "getoptions" in GetOpt::Long to parse the command-line options, with the incoming options parameter as a parameter. The following command-line options (all of which are optional) will also be processed by this method and used to construct the CDMI object.

If the command-line parse fails, an undefined value will be returned rather than a CDMI object.

The CDMIClient object can create either a CDMI_APIClient object for accessing the CDMI over the network, or a CDMI_APIImpl object for accessing a local database. The latter will most likely only be used by developers of the CDMI. The --local option must be passed to create the local database version.
