To specify the output format for a CLI command, use the -o argument and list it as the first argument to the command. For example, to select the string output format for the hdb.h.la command, you would run the command:
cr_cli -cmd hdb.h.la -o string -u [user] -p [password] |
The output format you specify must appear after the command itself, but before any other arguments, as shown in this example.
