ReStructuredText

Most commands producing output supports the ``--output-format``
parameter. It accepts the following values:
:``text``: Text format (default). Structured data is rendered as a table.
:``json``: JSON (single line).
:``json-pretty``: JSON (multiple lines, nicely formatted).
Also, the following environment variables can modify output behavior:
``PROXMOX_OUTPUT_FORMAT``
Defines the default output format.
``PROXMOX_OUTPUT_NO_BORDER``
If set (to any value), do not render table borders.
``PROXMOX_OUTPUT_NO_HEADER``
If set (to any value), do not render table headers.
.. note:: The ``text`` format is designed to be human readable, and
not meant to be parsed by automation tools. Please use the ``json``
format if you need to process the output.
