Standard Output Formats (N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Reference Guide)

N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Reference Guide

The CLI supports the following output formats:

Table 4–2 CLI Format Options


Format Option	Result
string	Produces brief output. Use this option for postprocessing
serialized	Produces XML serialized text output. Use this option when you want to pass information to another script.
sink	Discards output. On UNIX systems, directs output to /dev/null.
detail	Formats the output as a table. Includes detailed information.

If you do not specify an output format, the command uses its default format for the output.

To discover the default output format for a given command, refer to the help information for that command by running the command with -h:

cr_cli –cmd <commandname> –h

The default output format will be in asterisks at the bottom of the help.
