synopsis: Display one or many resources
description: |-
  Display one or many resources.

  Possible resource types include (case insensitive): pods (po), services (svc), deployments,
  replicasets (rs), replicationcontrollers (rc), nodes (no), events (ev), limitranges (limits),
  persistentvolumes (pv), persistentvolumeclaims (pvc), resourcequotas (quota), namespaces (ns),
  serviceaccounts (sa), ingresses (ing), horizontalpodautoscalers (hpa), daemonsets (ds), configmaps,
  componentstatuses (cs), endpoints (ep), and secrets.

  By specifying the output as 'template' and providing a Go template as the value
  of the --template flag, you can filter the attributes of the fetched resource(s).
options:
- name: all-namespaces
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace.
- name: export
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    If true, use 'export' for the resources.  Exported resources are stripped of cluster-specific information.
- name: filename
  shorthand: f
  default_value: '[]'
  usage: |
    Filename, directory, or URL to a file identifying the resource to get from a server.
- name: include-extended-apis
  default_value: "true"
  usage: |
    If true, include definitions of new APIs via calls to the API server. [default true]
- name: label-columns
  shorthand: L
  default_value: '[]'
  usage: |
    Accepts a comma separated list of labels that are going to be presented as columns. Names are case-sensitive. You can also use multiple flag statements like -L label1 -L label2...
- name: no-headers
  default_value: "false"
  usage: When using the default output, don't print headers.
- name: output
  shorthand: o
  usage: |
    Output format. One of: json|yaml|wide|name|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=... See golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/docs/user-guide/jsonpath.md].
- name: output-version
  usage: |
    Output the formatted object with the given group version (for ex: 'extensions/v1beta1').
- name: recursive
  shorthand: R
  default_value: "false"
  usage: If true, process directory recursively.
- name: selector
  shorthand: l
  usage: Selector (label query) to filter on
- name: show-all
  shorthand: a
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
- name: show-labels
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column)
- name: sort-by
  usage: |
    If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification.  The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
- name: template
  usage: |
    Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].

  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    After listing/getting the requested object, watch for changes.

  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    Watch for changes to the requested object(s), without listing/getting first.
inherited_options:

  usage: |
    DEPRECATED: The API version to use when talking to the server
- name: as
  usage: Username to impersonate for the operation.
- name: certificate-authority
  usage: Path to a cert. file for the certificate authority.
- name: client-certificate
  usage: Path to a client certificate file for TLS.
- name: client-key
  usage: Path to a client key file for TLS.
- name: cluster
  usage: The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
- name: context
  usage: The name of the kubeconfig context to use
- name: insecure-skip-tls-verify
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure.
- name: kubeconfig
  usage: Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
- name: log-backtrace-at
  default_value: :0
  usage: when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace
- name: log-dir
  usage: If non-empty, write log files in this directory
- name: log-flush-frequency
  default_value: 5s
  usage: Maximum number of seconds between log flushes
- name: logtostderr
  default_value: "true"
  usage: log to standard error instead of files
- name: match-server-version
  default_value: "false"
  usage: Require server version to match client version
- name: namespace
  usage: If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.
- name: password
  usage: Password for basic authentication to the API server.
- name: server
  shorthand: s
  usage: The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
- name: stderrthreshold
  default_value: "2"
  usage: logs at or above this threshold go to stderr
- name: token

  usage: Username for basic authentication to the API server.
- name: v
  default_value: "0"
  usage: log level for V logs
- name: vmodule
  usage: |
    comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
example: |-
  # List all pods in ps output format.
  kubectl get pods

  # List all pods in ps output format with more information (such as node name).
  kubectl get pods -o wide

  # List a single replication controller with specified NAME in ps output format.
  kubectl get replicationcontroller web

  # List a single pod in JSON output format.
  kubectl get -o json pod web-pod-13je7

  # List a pod identified by type and name specified in "pod.yaml" in JSON output format.
  kubectl get -f pod.yaml -o json

  # Return only the phase value of the specified pod.
  kubectl get -o template pod/web-pod-13je7 --template={{.status.phase}}

  # List all replication controllers and services together in ps output format.
  kubectl get rc,services

  # List one or more resources by their type and names.
