rootform show

show displays an active Dialect, the RF Vocabulary, or one declaration. A bare owner such as google shows that owner and its declarations. Use a qualified owner.kind.name such as google.rule.cloud-sql-instance for one declaration; a bare declaration name works only when unambiguous. These are definition identifiers, not Terraform resource addresses.

Shell

The first result prints the Rule's match and emissions. The JSON result identifies the RF Vocabulary Concept without evaluating any instance. --dialect <dir> overlays one Dialect owner for this inspection and leaves rootform.lock unchanged. Repeat it for different owners.

Text or JSON goes to standard output, diagnostics to standard error. Status 0 means the definition was shown; 1 means it was not found; 2 means incorrect usage; 3 means the selection was unavailable or the name was ambiguous; 4 means the definition could not be written. Use list dialects to see available owners or explain rule with --input to trace an application.
