Output Options

.. option:: --out

Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This
outputter can be any of the available outputters:

    ``highstate``, ``json``, ``key``, ``overstatestage``, ``pprint``, ``raw``, ``txt``, ``yaml``, and :ref:`many others <all-salt.output>`.

Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.
If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then
Salt will fall back on the ``pprint`` outputter and display the return data
using the Python ``pprint`` standard library module.

.. option:: --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT

Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values
disable indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support
indentation.

.. option:: --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE

Write the output to the specified file.

.. option:: --out-file-append, --output-file-append

Append the output to the specified file.

.. option:: --no-color

Disable all colored output

.. option:: --force-color

Force colored output

.. note::
    When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

    ``green`` denotes success, ``red`` denotes failure, ``blue`` denotes
    changes and success and ``yellow`` denotes a expected future change in configuration.

.. option:: --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT

Override the configured state_output value for minion
output. One of 'full', 'terse', 'mixed', 'changes' or
'filter'. Default: 'none'.

.. option:: --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE

Override the configured state_verbose value for minion
output. Set to True or False. Default: none.
