// Package iam provides the client and types for making API
// requests to AWS Identity and Access Management.
//
// AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that you can use
// to manage users and user permissions under your AWS account. This guide provides
// descriptions of IAM actions that you can call programmatically. For general
// information about IAM, see AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) (http://aws.amazon.com/iam/).
// For the user guide for IAM, see Using IAM (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/).
//
// AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming
// languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs
// provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to IAM and AWS. For
// example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as cryptographically signing requests
// (see below), managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For information
// about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see the Tools
// for Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) page.
//
// We recommend that you use the AWS SDKs to make programmatic API calls to
// IAM. However, you can also use the IAM Query API to make direct calls to
// the IAM web service. To learn more about the IAM Query API, see Making Query
// Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/IAM_UsingQueryAPI.html)
// in the Using IAM guide. IAM supports GET and POST requests for all actions.
// That is, the API does not require you to use GET for some actions and POST
// for others. However, GET requests are subject to the limitation size of a
// URL. Therefore, for operations that require larger sizes, use a POST request.
//
// Signing Requests
//
// Requests must be signed using an access key ID and a secret access key. We
// strongly recommend that you do not use your AWS account access key ID and
// secret access key for everyday work with IAM. You can use the access key
// ID and secret access key for an IAM user or you can use the AWS Security
// Token Service to generate temporary security credentials and use those to
// sign requests.
//
// To sign requests, we recommend that you use Signature Version 4 (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html).
// If you have an existing application that uses Signature Version 2, you do
// not have to update it to use Signature Version 4. However, some operations
// now require Signature Version 4. The documentation for operations that require
// version 4 indicate this requirement.
//

//
// Using the Client
//
// To use the client for AWS Identity and Access Management you will first need
// to create a new instance of it.
//
// When creating a client for an AWS service you'll first need to have a Session
// already created. The Session provides configuration that can be shared
// between multiple service clients. Additional configuration can be applied to
// the Session and service's client when they are constructed. The aws package's
// Config type contains several fields such as Region for the AWS Region the
// client should make API requests too. The optional Config value can be provided
// as the variadic argument for Sessions and client creation.
//
// Once the service's client is created you can use it to make API requests the
// AWS service. These clients are safe to use concurrently.
//
//   // Create a session to share configuration, and load external configuration.
//   sess := session.Must(session.NewSession())
//
//   // Create the service's client with the session.
//   svc := iam.New(sess)
//
// See the SDK's documentation for more information on how to use service clients.
// https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/
//
// See aws package's Config type for more information on configuration options.
// https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/#Config
//
// See the AWS Identity and Access Management client IAM for more
// information on creating the service's client.
// https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/iam/#New
//
// Once the client is created you can make an API request to the service.
// Each API method takes a input parameter, and returns the service response
// and an error.
//
// The API method will document which error codes the service can be returned
// by the operation if the service models the API operation's errors. These
// errors will also be available as const strings prefixed with "ErrCode".
//
//   result, err := svc.AddClientIDToOpenIDConnectProvider(params)
//   if err != nil {
//       // Cast err to awserr.Error to handle specific error codes.
//       aerr, ok := err.(awserr.Error)
//       if ok && aerr.Code() == <error code to check for> {
//           // Specific error code handling
//       }
//       return err
//   }
//
//   fmt.Println("AddClientIDToOpenIDConnectProvider result:")
//   fmt.Println(result)
//
// Using the Client with Context
//
// The service's client also provides methods to make API requests with a Context
// value. This allows you to control the timeout, and cancellation of pending
// requests. These methods also take request Option as variadic parameter to apply
// additional configuration to the API request.
//
//   ctx := context.Background()
//
//   result, err := svc.AddClientIDToOpenIDConnectProviderWithContext(ctx, params)
//
// See the request package documentation for more information on using Context pattern
// with the SDK.
