The program heketi-cli was at first created as a sample application for developers, but now that we will be working on it to be used by users, I am not sure if the name is appropriate, and is probably confusing.  My question is, should the program still be called "heketi-cli"?.  I am thinking it should be called something along the lines of GlusterFS-family-like program:

I like this one best. "glfs" is a common abbreviation for GlusterFS.

When naming the binary "glfs", it needs to be very modular, similar to
how "git" can run additional binaries. Other projects may want to use
the common "glfs" name too.

My 2nd choice.

GFS is like the Global File System, not GlusterFS.
