accept
Deprecated. Use --output-format | -f in place of --accept | -a. When you use --accept | -a, Command Central executes the command with a warning.
Specifies the format you want the command to use for the data it returns. Use the {--accept | -a} option to specify a content type that the command supplies on the HTTP Accept request header that it sends to Command Central or Platform Manager.
Syntax
{--accept | -a} content_type
Arguments and Options
Argument | Description |
content_type | Specifies a well-formed content type that indicates the format you want the command to use for the output. The following lists some examples: application/xml application/json application/vnd.sagcc.asset+zip application/yaml text/plain text/tab-separated-values text/csv |
Usage Notes
If you specify the
{--input | -i} option, the command ignores the
{--accept | -a} option and sets the request content type based on the file extension of the input file. For more information, see
input.
Use the
{--accept | -a} option as an alternative to the
{--format | -f} option. Both options set the request content type.
If you specify both the
{--accept | -a} option and the
{--format | -f} option, the command uses the content type you specify with the
{--accept | -a} option and ignores the
{--format | -f} option.
By default, output is written to the console. If you want the output written to a file, use the
{--output | -o} option. For more information, see
output.
Examples
