    10  
    11  The `terraform state` subcommands use
    12  [standard address syntax](/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html) to refer
    13  to individual resources, resource instances, and modules. This is the same
    14  syntax used for the `-target` option to the `apply` and `plan` commands.
    15  
    16  Most state commands allow referring to individual resource instances, whole
    17  resources (which may have multiple instances if `count` or `for_each` is used),
    18  or even whole modules.
    19  
    20  For more information on the syntax, see [Resource Addressing](/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html).
