# createInitScript

./ncloud vserver createInitScript \
    --initScriptContent <init-script-content> \
    [--initScriptName <init-script-name>] \
    [--initScriptDescription <init-script-description>] \
    [--osTypeCode <LNX|WND>] \
    [--regionCode <KR|SGN|JPN>] \
    [--output <json|xml>]
```
