26 missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output
27 formats.

31 Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only
32 print the object that would be sent, without sending it. If server
33 strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.

38 -f, --filename=[]
