- LIST COMMAND FLAGS
--filter
=EXPRESSION
- Apply a Boolean filter
EXPRESSION
to each resource itemto be listed. If the expression evaluatesTrue
, then that item islisted. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $gcloud topic filters. This flaginteracts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten
,--sort-by
,--filter
,--limit
. --limit
=LIMIT
- Maximum number of resources to list. The default is
unlimited
. Thisflag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten
,--sort-by
,--filter
,--limit
. --page-size
=PAGE_SIZE
- Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies themaximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the serviceif it supports paging, otherwise it is
unlimited
(no paging).Paging may be applied before or after--filter
and--limit
depending on the service. --sort-by
=[FIELD
,…]- Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default orderis ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on thatfield. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
--flatten
,--sort-by
,--filter
,--limit
. --uri
- Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change thecommand output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with
--format
, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To displayURIs alongside other keys instead, use theuri()
transform.
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
