== remsim-apitool.py

`remsim-apitool.py` is a small python script whic can be used to manually
control `osmo-remsim-server` via its RESTful interface in setups where
no external back-end application is controlling this interface.

For more information about The RESTful inteface, see <<RSRES>>.

*-P, --port PORT*::
