The \fI\-\-json[=JO]\fR option is designed to be an alternative to that human readable form. There are other alternative output formats such as the response output as a hexadecimal sequence of bytes or -in "raw" binary; both of those take precedence over the \fI\-\-json[=JO]\fR -option. Other specialized output format (e.g. 'sg_inq \-\-export') will -usually take precedence over JSON output. +in "raw" binary output; both of those take precedence over the +\fI\-\-json[=JO]\fR option. Other specialized output +format (e.g. 'sg_inq \-\-export') will usually take precedence over JSON +output. .PP When the \fI\-\-raw\fR option is used together with the \fI\-\-inhex=FN\fR option only the data input to the utility is interpreted as binary. So the output format defaults to human readable form and thus can be changed to JSON if the \fI\-\-json[=JO]\fR option is also used. +.PP +There is typically only one form of JSON output so options like +\fI\-\-brief\fR and \fI\-\-quiet\fR are ignored in the JSON output. In some +cases (i.e 'sg_inq \-\-descriptors') the JSON output is expanded. .SH AUTHORS Written by Douglas Gilbert.
