The esxcli command set is based in a "namespace" model. It's kinda weird & convoluted.
The good news: This command set seems to cover nearly everything the WebUI does. Which means that you can do these things without hunting through a GUI. (You just get to hunt through this documentation instead... :| )
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
