    23  ## Examples
    24  
    25  To import from a file, prepend the filename with `@`:
    26  
    27  ```
    28  $ consul kv import @values.json
    29  # Output
    30  ```
    31  
    32  To import from stdin, use `-` as the data parameter:
    33  
    34  ```
    35  $ cat values.json | consul kv import -
    36  # Output
    37  ```
    38  
    39  You can also pass the JSON directly, however care must be taken with shell
    40  escaping:
    41  
    42  ```
    43  $ consul kv import "$(cat values.json)"
    44  # Output
    45  ```
