+Verifies user's current tempest configuration.
+
+This command is used for updating or user's tempest configuration file based on
+api queries or replacing all option in a tempest configuration file for a full
+list of extensions.
+
+General Options
+===============
+
+-u, --update
+------------
+Update the config file with results from api queries. This assumes whatever is
+set in the config file is incorrect.
+
+-o FILE, --output=FILE
+----------------------
+Output file to write an updated config file to. This has to be a separate file
+from the original one. If one isn't specified with -u the values which should
+be changed will be printed to STDOUT.
+
+-r, --replace-ext
+-----------------
+If specified the all option will be replaced with a full list of extensions.
+
+Environment Variables
+=====================
+
+The command is workspace aware - it uses tempest config file tempest.conf
+located in ./etc/ directory.
+The path to the config file and it's name can be changed through environment
+variables.
+
+TEMPEST_CONFIG_DIR
+------------------
+Path to a directory where tempest configuration file is stored. If the variable
+is set, the default path (./etc/) is overridden.
+
+TEMPEST_CONFIG
+--------------
+Name of a tempest configuration file. If the variable is specified, the default
+name (tempest.conf) is overridden.
