Common command line flags
The following flags apply to multiple commands where they are relevant.
-f, --format json|yaml

-i, --include types

comma-separated list of target states (all, dirs, files, remove,
scripts, symlinks, and encrypted) and can be excluded by preceding them
with a no.
Example

files only.
--init
Regenerate and reread the config file from the config file template before computing the target state.
-r, --recursive
Recurse into subdirectories, true by default.
-x, --exclude types
Exclude target state entries of type types. types is a comma-separated list
of target states (all, dirs, files, remove, scripts, symlinks,
encrypted, and externals).
Example
--exclude=scripts will cause the command to not run scripts and
--exclude=encrypted will exclude encrypted files.
