member flags:

	--name 'default'
		human-readable name for this member.
	--data-dir '${name}.etcd'
		path to the data directory.
	--wal-dir ''
		path to the dedicated wal directory.
	--snapshot-count '10000'
		number of committed transactions to trigger a snapshot to disk.
	--heartbeat-interval '100'
		time (in milliseconds) of a heartbeat interval.
	--election-timeout '1000'
		time (in milliseconds) for an election to timeout. See tuning documentation for details.
	--listen-peer-urls 'http://localhost:2380,http://localhost:7001'
		list of URLs to listen on for peer traffic.
	--listen-client-urls 'http://localhost:2379,http://localhost:4001'
		list of URLs to listen on for client traffic.
	--max-snapshots '` + strconv.Itoa(defaultMaxSnapshots) + `'
		maximum number of snapshot files to retain (0 is unlimited).
	--max-wals '` + strconv.Itoa(defaultMaxWALs) + `'
		maximum number of wal files to retain (0 is unlimited).
	-cors ''

clustering flags:

	--initial-advertise-peer-urls 'http://localhost:2380,http://localhost:7001'
		list of this member's peer URLs to advertise to the rest of the cluster.
	--initial-cluster 'default=http://localhost:2380,default=http://localhost:7001'
		initial cluster configuration for bootstrapping.
	--initial-cluster-state 'new'
		initial cluster state ('new' or 'existing').
	--initial-cluster-token 'etcd-cluster'
		initial cluster token for the etcd cluster during bootstrap.
		Specifying this can protect you from unintended cross-cluster interaction when running multiple clusters.
	--advertise-client-urls 'http://localhost:2379,http://localhost:4001'
		list of this member's client URLs to advertise to the public.
		The client URLs advertised should be accessible to machines that talk to etcd cluster. etcd client libraries parse these URLs to connect to the cluster.
	--discovery ''
		discovery URL used to bootstrap the cluster.
	--discovery-fallback 'proxy'
		expected behavior ('exit' or 'proxy') when discovery services fails.
	--discovery-proxy ''
		HTTP proxy to use for traffic to discovery service.
	--discovery-srv ''
		dns srv domain used to bootstrap the cluster.
	--strict-reconfig-check
		reject reconfiguration requests that would cause quorum loss.

proxy flags:

	--proxy 'off'
		proxy mode setting ('off', 'readonly' or 'on').
	--proxy-failure-wait 5000
		time (in milliseconds) an endpoint will be held in a failed state.
	--proxy-refresh-interval 30000
		time (in milliseconds) of the endpoints refresh interval.

	--proxy-read-timeout 0
		time (in milliseconds) for a read to timeout.


security flags:

	--ca-file '' [DEPRECATED]
		path to the client server TLS CA file. '-ca-file ca.crt' could be replaced by '-trusted-ca-file ca.crt -client-cert-auth' and etcd will perform the same.

		path to the client server TLS cert file.
	--key-file ''
		path to the client server TLS key file.
	--client-cert-auth 'false'
		enable client cert authentication.

		path to the client server TLS trusted CA key file.
	--peer-ca-file '' [DEPRECATED]
		path to the peer server TLS CA file. '-peer-ca-file ca.crt' could be replaced by '-peer-trusted-ca-file ca.crt -peer-client-cert-auth' and etcd will perform the same.
	--peer-cert-file ''
		path to the peer server TLS cert file.
	--peer-key-file ''
		path to the peer server TLS key file.
	--peer-client-cert-auth 'false'
		enable peer client cert authentication.

		enable experimental v3 demo API.

profiling flags:
	--enable-pprof 'false'
		Enable runtime profiling data via HTTP server. Address is at client URL + "/debug/pprof"
