    Description

      I noticed the 'cbc' (part of the libcouchbase so other tools will also suffer the same issue) doesn't have very good help yes it just works with the default scope/collection.

      I have a keyspace of bulk.data.source and want to use cbc to create a document.

      cbc create SampleDocument2 -V '{"a_key": "a_value"}' -U couchbase://localhost/bulk -u Administrator -P password --expiry=60

      The above works but of course by default writes the document to bulk._default._default which is not what I wanted (fine for 6.6.2 but not 7.0).

      I was trying to get it to work in 7.0 GA (with scope 'data' and collection 'source'), I took a long time to determine the needed options, the below does what I want.

      cbc create SampleDocument2 -V '{"a_key": "a_value"}' -U couchbase://localhost/bulk --scope=data --collection=source -u Administrator -P password --expiry=60

      However the options I needed like are not documented in the output of -h for help ** 

      --scope=data --collection=source

      As can be seen below there is no information on how to set a scope and a collection both of the options for -scope and -collection are undocumented:

       

      cbc create -h
      Option h requires argument
