## rclone rc
Run a command against a running rclone.
### Synopsis
This runs a command against a running rclone. Use the --url flag to
specify an non default URL to connect on. This can be either a
":port" which is taken to mean "http://localhost:port" or a
"host:port" which is taken to mean "http://host:port"
A username and password can be passed in with --user and --pass.
Note that --rc-addr, --rc-user, --rc-pass will be read also for --url,
--user, --pass.
Arguments should be passed in as parameter=value.
The result will be returned as a JSON object by default.
The --json parameter can be used to pass in a JSON blob as an input
instead of key=value arguments. This is the only way of passing in
more complicated values.
Use --loopback to connect to the rclone instance running "rclone rc".
This is very useful for testing commands without having to run an
rclone rc server, eg:
rclone rc --loopback operations/about fs=/
Use "rclone rc" to see a list of all possible commands.
