SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       Convert config files between different API versions. Both YAML and JSON
17       formats are accepted.
18
19
20       The command takes filename, directory, or URL as input, and convert  it
21       into  format  of  version specified by --output-version flag. If target
22       version is not specified or not supported, convert to latest version.
23
24
25       The default output will be printed to stdout in YAML  format.  One  can
26       use -o option to change to output destination.

OPTIONS

43       locally.
44
45
46       -o, --output="yaml"
47           Output format. One of: json|yaml|name|templatefile|template|go-tem‐
