- The primary output of any command should be to STDOUT. The format should be described in the documentation of each command.
- Output to STDERR is informational only.
From version 2.1.0 (as part of a dependency update), the version metadata is printed to standard output. By default it includes the package version, commit hash, git tree state, build date, Go version, compiler toolchain and current platform.
The output of cosign version
is expected to resemble this format, with the specific values being appropriate for each build of the cosign
package.
$ cosign version
