  - usr/bin/luet
  hidden: false
  installed: true
  name: luet
  repository: luet
  target: ""

Search output

Search can return results in the terminal in different ways: as terminal output, as json or as yaml.

JSON

$ luet search --json <regex>

YAML

$ luet search --yaml <regex>

Tabular

$ luet search --table <regex>

Quiet luet output

Luet output is verbose by default and colourful, however will try to adapt to the terminal, based on which environment is executed (as a service, in the terminal, etc.)

You can quiet luet output with the --quiet flag or -q to have a more compact output in all the commands.
