Usage:
	The usage of smbridge can be divided into five categories:
	1. Local command line with LAN connection
	2. Local command line with SERIAL connection
	3. Local interactive
	4. Service
	5. Online help

	1. Local command line with LAN connection :
	  smbridge [-cfg config-file] -ip <ip-address> [-u username]
	  [-p password] [-k KGvalue-in-HEX] [-cip cipher-suite-ID]
	  <bmc-control-command>

	  -ip     specifies the IP address or hostname of the remote managed
	          server BMC.
	  -u      specifies the username used for the connection. If not
	          specified, the default is the anonymous user.
	  -p      specifies the password used for the connection. If not
	          specified, the default password is NULL or the empty string.
	  -k	  specify the KG value of hex format.
	  -cip    specify the cipher suite ID.

	  Supported bmc control commands:  identify, sol, power, sysinfo, sel,
	  sensor

	  Basic Usage Examples:
	  Display general system info of remote server using LAN connection
	  "smbridge -ip 192.168.0.100 -u root -p calvin sysinfo"

	2. Local command line with SERIAL connection
	  smbridge [-cfg config-file] -com <1|2|ttyS0|ttyS1...> [-baud 9600|
	  19200|38400|57600|115200] [-flow cts|xon|none]  <bmc-control-command>

	  -com    specifies the port to use for the serial connection (i.e. for
	          Windows, valid values include "1", "2", "3", etc. - for Linux
	          valid values include "ttyS0", "ttyS1", "ttyS2", etc.).
	  -baud   specifies the baud rate to use for the serial connection (i.e
	          9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200).  If not specified, the
	          default baud rate is 19200.
	  -flow   specifies the flowcontrol mode used for the serial connection
	          (i.e. "none" = no flowcontrol, "cts" = CTS/RTS hardware flow control
	          "xon" = xon/xoff software flowcontrol). If not specified, the default
	          flow control is cts.
	  -u      specifies the username used for the connection. If not
	          specified, the default is the anonymous user.
	  -p      specifies the password used for the connection. If not
	          specified, the default password is NULL or the empty string.

	  Supported bmc control commands:  identify, sol, power, sysinfo, sel,
	  sensor
	  Basic Usage Examples:
	  Display general system info of remote server using serial connection:
	     "smbridge -com 1 -baud 19200 -flow cts -u root -p cal sysinfo"
	     "smbridge -com ttyS0 -baud 19200 -flow cts -u root -p cal sysinfo"

	3. Local interactive
	  smbridge  [-cfg config-file] -interactive

	  Supported bmc control commands:
	  help, connect, identify, sol, power, sysinfo, sel, sensor

	4. Service
	  For windows platform
	  smbridge  [-cfg config-file] -daemon -d
		running smbridge from command line as a daemon

	  For Linux platform
	  smbridge  [-cfg config-file] -daemon -d
	  	running smbridge as a service
	  smbridge  [-cfg config-file] -daemon -b
		start smbridge as background service, known as Linux Daemon

	  Supported bmc control commands:
	  help, connect, identify, sol, console, power, sysinfo, sel, sensor,
	  reboot.

	5. Online Help
	  Get BMC control commands help messages.
	  smbridge -help [command] (display specified BMC control command help
	  message)
	  smbridge -help (display all supported BMC control commands' syntax in
	  brief)

	  For detailed command help, type "smbridge -help <subcommand>".
	  Example: "smbridge -help power"
