    10  
    11  The `terraform output` command is used to extract the value of
    12  an output variable from the state file.
    13  
    14  ## Usage
    15  
    16  Usage: `terraform output [options] NAME`
    17  
    18  By default, `output` requires only a variable name and looks in the
    19  current directory for the state file to query.
    20  
    21  The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
    22  
    23  * `-state=path` - Path to the state file. Defaults to "terraform.tfstate".
    24  * `-module=module_name` - The module path which has needed output.
    25      By default this is the root path. Other modules can be specified by
    26      a period-separated list. Example: "foo" would reference the module
    27      "foo" but "foo.bar" would reference the "bar" module in the "foo"
    28      module.
