Export Formats

Purpose​

Export Formats — Export surface.

When to use it​

  • Operate Export Formats when your job matches this surface
  • Prefer dry-run / doctor before mutating repairs on disks
  • Shut down the guest before write operations

How to get there​

  • Doc id: export-formats
  • Nav: Export → Export Formats
  • Primary interface: --output vs --export on inspect; plan export; passport JSON

Operate from CLI / TUI (UX)​

  1. --output vs --export on inspect; plan export; passport JSON.
  2. Data: inspect -o json|yaml|csv.
  3. Docs: --export html|markdown|pdf --export-output PATH.
  4. Plans: plan export plan.yaml -f bash -o fix.sh.
  5. Assurance: migrate-plan --export, passport emit -o.
  6. TUI view export / web Passport download.
  7. Empty / fail: Missing --export-output; PDF may need Chrome/wkhtmltopdf.
  8. Success: File opens (HTML) or validates (JSON/YAML).

Host needs Linux + qemu-img / losetup / qemu-nbd; mount/repair often need root. GuestKit does not invent disk contents.
