Working With CLI Command Results 299

Selecting a Format for the CLI Command Output

You can specify a format for the CLI command results. The format

determines how the command output is displayed. If the command results

are directed to a file, the format is captured by the file to which you write the

command results.The available formats include:

•List (lst)

• Semicolon-separated values (ssv)

•Table (tbl)

• Custom delimited format (cdv)

The Syntax for the formatting option is:

For example, type:

omreport system summary -fmt tbl

omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl

where -fmt tbl specifies table format.

You can combine the formatting option with the option to direct output to a

file. For example, type:

omreport system summary -fmt tbl -outa summary.txt

omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl -outa

summary.txt

where -fmt tbl specifies table format and -outa specifies that you append the

command results to a file called summary.txt.

List (lst)

The default format is lst or list format. Use this format when you want to

optimize output for simple readability. You need to specify a format for the

command output only if you want a format other than the lst format.
