Hi Seam!

Rally CLI is implemented on top of argparse library. Our CLI looks like
`rally <category> <command>`.
As for documentation, I wrote a sphinx extension for auto-constructing CLI
references.
It contains some rally-specific stuff, but not too much. Maybe, it can be
helpful for you.

Refs:
1) extension itself:
https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/1.4.1/doc/ext/cli_reference.py
2) place to display cli ref:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/rally/1.4.1/doc/source/cli_reference.rst
3) result at rtd: https://rally.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli_reference.html
4) result at docs.o.o using an old openstack theme -
https://docs.openstack.org/rally/latest/cli_reference.html
