accept

Deprecated. Use --output-format | -f in place of --accept | -a.

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

  • To have a command return data in JavaScript Object Notation format:
    --accept application/json
  • To have a command return data in csv format:
    --accept text/csv
