Name

.output — Set the output destination

Common Usage

.output (filename|stdout)

Description

The .output command sets the output destination. By default, any command output is directed to the terminal interface (in the case of interactive sessions) or the program output (in the case of batch sessions). Given a filename, the .output command will redirect any command output to a file. The file will be created if it does not exist. If the file does exist, it will be truncated. If the output is being redirected to a file, it will not also be displayed to the terminal. Commands and command prompts will not be output to the file, making this a suitable way to generate SQL dump files using the .dump command.

To reset the output to the terminal interface, set the output to stdout (standard output).
