# Command: var init
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `var init` creates an example variable specification file that can be used
|
||
|
as a starting point to customize further.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```plaintext
|
||
|
nomad var init <filename>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
When no filename is supplied, a default filename of "spec.nv.hcl" or
|
||
|
"spec.nv.json" will be used depending on the output format.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Init Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `-out` `(enum: hcl | json)`: Format of generated variable
|
||
|
specification. Defaults to `hcl`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Examples

||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
```shell-session
|
||
|
