The glance project provides services for discovering, registering, and retrieving virtual machine images over the cloud. they may be stand-alone services, or may be used to deliver images from object stores, such as openstack's swift service, to nova's compute nodes.

this is a client for the glance which uses the openstack image api. there's a python api (the "glanceclient" module), and a command-line script ("glance").

this package provides the documentation and man page.
