##  Options  Â¶

` --generated-template-name  ` (string)

> The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a generated template.

` --cli-input-json  ` | ` --cli-input-yaml  ` (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ` --generate-cli-skeleton  ` . If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with ` --cli-input-yaml  ` . 

` --generate-cli-skeleton  ` (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard
output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value
` input  ` , prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for `
--cli-input-json  ` . Similarly, if provided ` yaml-input  ` it will print a
sample input YAML that can be used with ` --cli-input-yaml  ` . If provided
with the value ` output  ` , it validates the command inputs and returns a
sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable
between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility
guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

##  Global Options  Â¶

` --debug  ` (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.
