The show action command

The show action command displays a list of objects that exist on the system and the attributes of those objects. You can specify an object qualifier to view the attributes for a single object. The show action command provides qualifiers for changing the display of the output, including the format and the attributes to include. The available output formats are name-value pair (NVP), table, JSON, and comma-separated values (CSV).

Format

<object> [<object qualifiers>] show [-select <field>,...] [-sort <sort field>(+|-)] [-offset <value>] [{ -limit <value> | -all }] [-output {nvp | table | json [-raw]| csv [-table] [-noformat]}]

Action qualifiers

Qualifier	Description
-o, -output	Specify the output format. Value is one of the following: nvp—The name-value pair (NVP) format displays the output as name=value. table—The table format displays output as a table, with column headers and rows. By default, values that are too long to fit in a column are cut off. json—The JSON format is the JSON representation of the data, similar to the corresponding REST API response body. -raw—Removes human-readable formatting such as new lines and indentation for JSON output. csv—The comma-separated values (CSV) format is similar to the table format, but commas separate the names and values. -noformat—Removes human-readable formatting for size and speed values to ease data import. -table—Exports .csv with table formatting; instances with embedded arrays are split into several lines after importing .csv as a table.
-select	Display the list of fields specified instead of the default fields.
-sort	Sort the output by the specified fields. Append a field with + to sort ascending (default), or – to sort descending.
-offset	Specifies where to start in a result set. Offset 0 is the normal start of the list. Offset 100 skips the first 100 instances and start the output with the 100th instance.
-limit \| -all	Specifies how many instances to show. The default is 100. -all displays all instances, up to a limit of 2000. For longer lists, use -offset and -limit together to show chunks of data iteratively.
