Fixes: #6025
Since the print style is not key-value format when using the shell output, I changed the format from shell to CSV for the
report
,print
, andlayers
options.Also, the changes in the last commit were not originally mentioned in the issue, but I felt that the CSV output should include headers. So, I added headers for the above-mentioned options in a backward-compatible way i.e., if the
-g
flag is given without specifying the CSV format, headers will be skipped.I also read some discussions where we want CSV output to be more aligned with JSON. So, for the
print
option, I updated the CSV format to better match the structure of the JSON output.Additionally, for both the
print
andreport
options, I added aseparator
option that can be used with CSV.Let me know if any (or all) of the changes in the last commit are useful. If not, I’ll revert them.
