OPTIONS

27       --allow-missing-template-keys=true       If  true, ignore any errors in
28       templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only  ap‐
29       plies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
30
31
32       --dry-run="none"       Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client
33       strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.
34       If  server  strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the
35       resource.
36
37
38       --edit=false      Edit the API resource before creating
39
40
41       --field-manager="kubectl-create"      Name of the manager used to track
42       field ownership.
43
44
45       -f,  --filename=[]       Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to
46       create the resource
47
48
49       -k, --kustomize=""      Process the kustomization directory. This  flag
50       can't be used together with -f or -R.
51
52
53       -o,  --output=""      Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name, go-tem‐
54       plate, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-
55       json, jsonpath-file).
56
57
58       --raw=""      Raw URI to POST to the server.  Uses the transport speci‐
59       fied by the kubeconfig file.
60
61
62       --record=false      Record current kubectl command in the resource  an‐
63       notation.  If  set to false, do not record the command. If set to true,
64       record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing  anno‐
65       tation value only if one already exists.
66
67
68       -R, --recursive=false      Process the directory used in -f, --filename
69       recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized
70       within the same directory.
71
72
73       --save-config=false       If  true, the configuration of current object
74       will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the annotation will be  un‐
75       changed.  This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on
76       this object in the future.
77
78
79       -l, --selector=""      Selector (label query) to  filter  on,  supports
80       '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2). Matching objects
81       must satisfy all of the specified label constraints.
82
83
84       --show-managed-fields=false      If true, keep the  managedFields  when
85       printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
86
87
88       --template=""      Template string or path to template file to use when
89       -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang tem‐
90       plates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
91
92
93       --validate="strict"      Must be one of: strict (or true), warn, ignore
94       (or false).            "true" or "strict" will use a schema to validate
95       the  input and fail the request if invalid. It will perform server side
96       validation if ServerSideFieldValidation is enabled on  the  api-server,
97       but  will  fall  back  to  less reliable client-side validation if not.
98                 "warn" will warn about unknown or  duplicate  fields  without
99       blocking  the request if server-side field validation is enabled on the
100       API server, and behave as  "ignore"  otherwise.             "false"  or
101       "ignore"  will not perform any schema validation, silently dropping any
102       unknown or duplicate fields.
103
104
105       --windows-line-endings=false      Only  relevant  if  --edit=true.  De‐
106       faults to the line ending native to your platform.
