# 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

|
|
|
Create an example variable specification:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ nomad var init
|
|
Example variable specification written to spec.nv.hcl
|
|
```
