36### Output Options
37
38- `-field` `(string: "")` - Print only the field with the given name. Specifying
39  this option will take precedence over other formatting directives. The result
40  will not have a trailing newline making it ideal for piping to other
41  processes.
42
43- `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output in the given format. Valid
44  formats are "table", "json", or "yaml". This can also be specified via the
45  `VAULT_FORMAT` environment variable.
