How to get a list of AWS EIP addresses from the command line?

Question

I have a use case where I would like to run a script using all existing elastic IP addresses in a specific VPC.

Any thoughts on the best way to generate that list?

I've been looking through the AWS CLI documentation and can't find anything.

Thanks in advance!

@Mark's answer is correct. I am just extrapolating the exact command to list the elastic ip's.

aws ec2 describe-addresses --region us-east-1 --query 'Addresses[*].PublicIp'

The command you are looking for (which is certainly difficult to find due to the unintuitive name) is:

aws ec2 describe-addresses
