## Plugin commands
-* `asp <profile>`: Sets `AWS_PROFILE` and `AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE` (legacy) to `<profile>`.
-It also adds it to your RPROMPT.
+* `asp [<profile>]`: sets `$AWS_PROFILE` and `$AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE` (legacy) to `<profile>`.
+ It also sets `$AWS_EB_PROFILE` to `<profile>` for the Elastic Beanstalk CLI.
+ Run `asp` without arguments to clear the profile.
-* `agp`: Gets the current value of `AWS_PROFILE`.
+* `acp [<profile>]`: in addition to `asp` functionality, it actually changes the profile by
+ assuming the role specified in the `<profile>` configuration. It supports MFA and sets
+ `$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `$AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`, if obtained. It
+ requires the roles to be configured as per the
+ [official guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-role.html).
+ Run `acp` without arguments to clear the profile.
-* `aws_profiles`: Lists the available profiles in the file referenced in `AWS_CONFIG_FILE` (default: ~/.aws/config). Used to provide completion for the `asp` function.
+* `agp`: gets the current value of `$AWS_PROFILE`.
+
+* `aws_change_access_key`: changes the AWS access key of a profile.
+
+* `aws_profiles`: lists the available profiles in the `$AWS_CONFIG_FILE` (default: `~/.aws/config`).
+ Used to provide completion for the `asp` function.
+
+## Plugin options
+
+* Set `SHOW_AWS_PROMPT=false` in your zshrc file if you want to prevent the plugin from modifying your RPROMPT.
+ Some themes might overwrite the value of RPROMPT instead of appending to it, so they'll need to be fixed to
+ see the AWS profile prompt.
+
+## Theme
+
+The plugin creates an `aws_prompt_info` function that you can use in your theme, which displays
+the current `$AWS_PROFILE`. It uses two variables to control how that is shown:
+
+* ZSH_THEME_AWS_PREFIX: sets the prefix of the AWS_PROFILE. Defaults to `<aws:`.
+
+* ZSH_THEME_AWS_SUFFIX: sets the suffix of the AWS_PROFILE. Defaults to `>`.
+
