I know there is a CLI command to generate an Input Definition for testing Modular Inputs, but I cannot seem to find any docs on it. I've searched through the SDKs, online, and nothing in the CLI help stands out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The input definition would look something like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
    <input xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <server_host>tiny</server_host>
      <server_uri>https://127.0.0.1:8089</server_uri>
      <checkpoint_dir>/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/modinputs</checkpoint_dir>
      <session_key>123102983109283019283</session_key>
      <configuration>
        <stanza name="foobar://aaa">
          <param name="param1">value1</param>
          <param name="param2">value2</param>
          <param name="disabled">0</param>
          <param name="index">default</param>
        </stanza>
        <stanza name="foobar://bbb">
          <param name="param1">value11</param>
          <param name="param2">value22</param>
          <param name="disabled">0</param>
          <param name="index">default</param>
          <param_list name="multiValue">
            <value>value1</value>
            <value>value2</value>
          </param_list>
          <param_list name="multiValue2">
            <value>value3</value>
            <value>value4</value>
          </param_list>
        </stanza>
      </configuration>
    </input>
