# autoview
|
|
|
|
Print the content of the pipeline as a table or list.
|
|
It is the implied or default viewer when none is provided.
|
|
|
|
When reading a single value, a table or a list, `autoview` will attempt to view it.
|
|
When reading a string that originally comes from a source file it will attempt
|
|
to use `textview`.
|
|
When reading a binary file it will attempt to display its content as hexadecimal
|
|
numbers and the corresponding characters.
|
|
|
|
`-h`, `--help`
|
|
Display help message.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
In all following examples `autoview` can be removed with no change in the output.
|
|
The use of `autoview` at the end of the pipeline is implied when no viewer is
|
|
explicitly used.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> which nu | get path | autoview
|
|
/home/me/.cargo/bin/nu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> ls | autoview

```shell
|
|
> echo "# Hi" "## Section" "Some text" | save file.md
|
|
> open file.md | autoview
|
|
# Hi
|
|
## Section
|
|
Some text
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`autoview` will use `textview` to colorize the text based on the file format.
|
|
The style used by `textview` can be configured in `config.toml`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> open --raw $(which nu | get path) | autoview
