## Usage

The following flags are available in addition to the [standard set of
flags](/vault/docs/commands) included on all commands.

### Output options

- `-field` `(string: "")` - Print information for the named field without a
  trailing newline. The `-field` parameter takes precedence over other
  formatting directives.

- `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output for the current command in
  the given format. Valid formats are `table`, `json`, or `yaml`. Use the
  `VAULT_FORMAT` environment variable to set your output preferences globally.

### Command options

- `-type` `(string: "")` - Plugin runtime type. Vault currently only supports
  `container` runtime type.
