influx is the command line program for interacting with an InfluxDB server.
In the first form, the program starts a CLI that can be used to write data or query the database. The command line is described in COMMAND LINE.
In the second form, this will execute a single command, usually a query. This is the equivalent of starting the command line, running one command, and then exiting.
In the third form, this imports a previously exported database to the database.
The fourth form outputs the version of the command line and then immediately exits.

Port to use when connecting to the host. Default is 8086.
−database <database>
