Format parameter

If the –show or –get function of a command is specified, the output format can be selected by specifying the -format parameter.

–format format

Specifies the output format.
Permitted values: std (default) | short | medium | xml | xmlp.

std selects a multi-line output: Each attribute of an object is displayed on a separate line. This is also the default output format.

short displays only the id / name of an object on a separate line.

medium displays the id / name and some basic properties of an object on a separate line. The value is not supported by storstat.

xml writes the output in xml format in a single line.

xmlp writes the output in xml format, but in a multi-line format for better human readability (pretty print).
