kinesis-tail [stream-name]
AWS Credentials should be configured under ~/.aws/credentials in the same manner you would if using the aws cli tools.
For more information see: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go#configuring-credentials
The region should be specified using the AWS_REGION environment variable. If no region is specified the tool will default to us-east-1.
