# Command: output
The `terraform output` command is used to extract the value of
an output variable from the state file.
## Usage
Usage: `terraform output [options] [NAME]`
With no additional arguments, `output` will display all the outputs for
the root module. If an output `NAME` is specified, only the value of that
output is printed.
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
* `-json` - If specified, the outputs are formatted as a JSON object, with
a key per output. If `NAME` is specified, only the output specified will be
returned. This can be piped into tools such as `jq` for further processing.
* `-no-color` - If specified, output won't contain any color.
* `-state=path` - Path to the state file. Defaults to "terraform.tfstate".
Ignored when [remote state](/docs/state/remote.html) is used.
## Examples
These examples assume the following Terraform output snippet.
```hcl
output "lb_address" {
value = "${aws_alb.web.public_dns}"
}
output "instance_ips" {
value = ["${aws_instance.web.*.public_ip}"]
}
```
To list all outputs:
```shell
$ terraform output
```
To query for the DNS address of the load balancer:
```shell
$ terraform output lb_address
my-app-alb-1657023003.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
```
To query for all instance IP addresses:
```shell
$ terraform output instance_ips
test = [
54.43.114.12,
52.122.13.4,
52.4.116.53
]
```
To query for a particular value in a list, use `-json` and a JSON
command-line parser such as [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
For example, to query for the first instance's IP address:
```shell
$ terraform output -json instance_ips | jq '.value[0]'
```
