The client module is used to create a client connection to the publisher
The data structure needs to be:
    {'enc': 'clear',
     'load': {'fun': '<mod.callable>',
              'arg':, ('arg1', 'arg2', ...),
              'tgt': '<glob or id>',
              'key': '<read in the key file>'}
'''

# The components here are simple, and they need to be and stay simple, we
# want a client to have 3 external concerns, and maybe a forth configurable
# option.
# The concerns are:
# 1. Who executes the command?
# 2. What is the function being run?
# 3. What arguments need to be passed to the function?
# 4. How long do we wait for all of the replies?

    The interface used by the :command:`salt` CLI tool on the Salt Master

    ``LocalClient`` is used to send a command to Salt minions to execute
    :ref:`execution modules <all-salt.modules>` and return the results to the
    Salt Master.

    Importing and using ``LocalClient`` must be done on the same machine as the
    Salt Master and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Master is
    running as. (Unless :conf_master:`external_auth` is configured and
    authentication credentials are included in the execution).

    .. note::
        The LocalClient uses a Tornado IOLoop, this can create issues when
        using the LocalClient inside an existing IOLoop. If creating the
        LocalClient in partnership with another IOLoop either create the
        IOLoop before creating the LocalClient, or when creating the IOLoop
        use ioloop.current() which will return the ioloop created by
        LocalClient.

        Compound commands can be used for multiple executions in a single
        publish. Function names and function arguments are provided in separate
        lists but the index values must correlate and an empty list must be
        used if no arguments are required.

        .. code-block:: python

                    'grains.items',

                    ['uptime'],
                ])

        :param tgt: Which minions to target for the execution. Default is shell
            glob. Modified by the ``tgt_type`` option.
        :type tgt: string or list

        :param fun: The module and function to call on the specified minions of
            the form ``module.function``. For example ``test.ping`` or
            ``grains.items``.

            Compound commands
                Multiple functions may be called in a single publish by
                passing a list of commands. This can dramatically lower
                overhead and speed up the application communicating with Salt.

                This requires that the ``arg`` param is a list of lists. The
                ``fun`` list and the ``arg`` list must correlate by index
                meaning a function that does not take arguments must still have
                a corresponding empty list at the expected index.
        :type fun: string or list of strings

        :param arg: A list of arguments to pass to the remote function. If the
            function takes no arguments ``arg`` may be omitted except when
            executing a compound command.
        :type arg: list or list-of-lists

        :param timeout: Seconds to wait after the last minion returns but
            before all minions return.

        :param tgt_type: The type of ``tgt``. Allowed values:

            * ``glob`` - Bash glob completion - Default
            * ``pcre`` - Perl style regular expression
            * ``list`` - Python list of hosts
            * ``grain`` - Match based on a grain comparison
            * ``grain_pcre`` - Grain comparison with a regex
            * ``pillar`` - Pillar data comparison
            * ``pillar_pcre`` - Pillar data comparison with a regex
            * ``nodegroup`` - Match on nodegroup
            * ``range`` - Use a Range server for matching
            * ``compound`` - Pass a compound match string
            * ``ipcidr`` - Match based on Subnet (CIDR notation) or IPv4 address.

            .. versionchanged:: 2017.7.0
                Renamed from ``expr_form`` to ``tgt_type``

        :param ret: The returner to use. The value passed can be single
            returner, or a comma delimited list of returners to call in order
            on the minions

        :param kwarg: A dictionary with keyword arguments for the function.

        :param full_return: Output the job return only (default) or the full
            return including exit code and other job metadata.

        :param kwargs: Optional keyword arguments.
            Authentication credentials may be passed when using
            :conf_master:`external_auth`.

            For example: ``local.cmd('*', 'test.ping', username='saltdev',
            password='saltdev', eauth='pam')``.
            Or: ``local.cmd('*', 'test.ping',
            token='5871821ea51754fdcea8153c1c745433')``

        :returns: A dictionary with the result of the execution, keyed by
            minion ID. A compound command will return a sub-dictionary keyed by
            function name.

        Added the ``cmd`` method for consistency with the other Salt clients.
        The existing ``function`` and ``sminion.functions`` interfaces still
        exist but have been removed from the docs.

    Importing and using ``Caller`` must be done on the same machine as a
    Salt Minion and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Minion is
    running as.

    Usage:

    .. code-block:: python

        import salt.client
        caller = salt.client.Caller()
        caller.cmd('test.ping')

    Note, a running master or minion daemon is not required to use this class.
    Running ``salt-call --local`` simply sets :conf_minion:`file_client` to
    ``'local'``. The same can be achieved at the Python level by including that
    setting in a minion config file.

    .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
        Pass the minion config as the ``mopts`` dictionary.

    .. code-block:: python

        import salt.client
        import salt.config
        __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')

    '''
    ``ProxyCaller`` is the same interface used by the :command:`salt-call`
    with the args ``--proxyid <proxyid>`` command-line tool on the Salt Proxy
    Minion.

    Importing and using ``ProxyCaller`` must be done on the same machine as a
    Salt Minion and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Minion is
    running as.

    Usage:

    .. code-block:: python

        import salt.client
        caller = salt.client.Caller()
        caller.cmd('test.ping')

    Note, a running master or minion daemon is not required to use this class.
    Running ``salt-call --local`` simply sets :conf_minion:`file_client` to
    ``'local'``. The same can be achieved at the Python level by including that
    setting in a minion config file.

    .. code-block:: python

        import salt.client
        import salt.config
        __opts__ = salt.config.proxy_config('/etc/salt/proxy', minion_id='quirky_edison')
        __opts__['file_client'] = 'local'
        caller = salt.client.ProxyCaller(mopts=__opts__)

    .. note::

        To use this for calling proxies, the :py:func:`is_proxy functions
        <salt.utils.platform.is_proxy>` requires that ``--proxyid`` be an
        argument on the commandline for the script this is used in, or that the
        string ``proxy`` is in the name of the script.
