POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

The name of the resource to fetch.

FLAGS

--format FORMAT

Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of the available options will serialize the result of the command in the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are: "json", "text", "yaml".

--help

Display detailed help.

--project PROJECT

Google Cloud Platform project to use for this invocation.

--quiet

Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.

--zone ZONE

The zone of the resource to fetch. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a zone.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the “compute/zone” property:

gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable “CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE”.

-h

Print a summary help and exit.
