NAME
       knife-show - The man page for the knife show subcommand.

       The knife show subcommand is used to view the details of one (or more)
       objects on the Chef server. This subcommand works similar to knife
       cookbook show, knife data bag show, knife environment show, knife node
       show, and knife role show, but with a single verb (and a single
       action).

       Syntax

       This subcommand has the following syntax:

          $ knife show [PATTERN...] (options)

       Options

       This subcommand has the following options:

       -a ATTR, --attribute ATTR
              The attribute (or attributes) to show.

       -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
              The configuration file to use.

       --chef-repo-path PATH
              The path to the chef-repo. This setting will override the
              default path to the chef-repo. Default: same as specified by
              chef_repo_path in config.rb.

       --chef-zero-port PORT
              The port on which chef-zero will listen.

       --[no-]color
              Use to view colored output.

       --concurrency
              The number of allowed concurrent connections. Default: 10.

       -d, --disable-editing
              Use to prevent the $EDITOR from being opened and to accept data
              as-is.

       --defaults
              Use to have Knife use the default value instead of asking a user
              to provide one.

       -e EDITOR, --editor EDITOR
              The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands.

       -E ENVIRONMENT, --environment ENVIRONMENT
              The name of the environment. When this option is added to a
              command, the command will run only against the named
              environment.

       -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
              The output format: summary (default), text, json, yaml, and pp.

       -h, --help
              Shows help for the command.

       -k KEY, --key KEY
              The private key that Knife will use to sign requests made by the
              API client to the Chef server.

       --local
              Use to show local files instead of remote files.

       --print-after
              Use to show data after a destructive operation.

       --repo-mode MODE
              The layout of the local chef-repo. Possible values: static,
              everything, or hosted_everything. Use static for just roles,
              environments, cookbooks, and data bags. By default, everything
              and hosted_everything are dynamically selected depending on the
              server type. Default: everything / hosted_everything.

       -s URL, --server-url URL
              The URL for the Chef server.

       -u USER, --user USER
              The user name used by Knife to sign requests made by the API
              client to the Chef server. Authentication will fail if the user
              name does not match the private key.

       -v, --version
              The version of the chef-client.

       -V, --verbose
              Set for more verbose outputs. Use -VV for maximum verbosity.

       -y, --yes
              Use to respond to all confirmation prompts with "Yes". Knife
              will not ask for confirmation.

       -z, --local-mode
              Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows all
              commands that work against the Chef server to also work against
              the local chef-repo.

       Examples

       To show all cookbooks in the cookbooks/ directory:

          $ knife show cookbooks/

       or, (if already in the cookbooks/ directory in the local chef-repo):

          $ knife show

          $ knife show roles/ environments/
