 * `token` - (Required) Vault token that will be used by Terraform to
  authenticate. May be set via the `VAULT_TOKEN` environment variable.
+  If none is otherwise supplied, Terraform will attempt to read it from
+  `~/.vault-token` (where the vault command stores its current token).
  Terraform will issue itself a new token that is a child of the one given,
  with a short TTL to limit the exposure of any requested secrets.
