Usage

The following flags are available in addition to the standard set of flags included on all commands.

Output options

-field (string: "") - Print only the field with the given name. Specifying this option will take precedence over other formatting directives. The result will not have a trailing newline making it ideal for piping to other processes.
-format (string: "table") - Print the output in the given format. Valid formats are "table", "json", or "yaml". This can also be specified via the VAULT_FORMAT environment variable.

Command options

-plugin-version (string: "") - Semantic version of the plugin to read from the catalog. If unspecified, refers to the unversioned plugin registered with the same name and type, or the built-in plugin, in that order of precedence.
