The esxcli command set is based in a "namespace" model. It's kinda weird & convoluted.
Usage
Usage: esxcli [options] {namespace}+ {cmd} [cmd options]
Options:
--formatter=FORMATTER
Override the formatter to use for a given command. Available formatter:
keyvalue, csv, xml
--debug Enable debug or internal use options
--version Display version information for the script
-?, --help Display usage information for the script
