# Output options

`secator` is built to be flexible in terms of output options.

***

### Console

The default `secator` output is the [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md) `repr` function. It is supposed to be pretty and readable to quickly understand `secator`'s findings:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/eFDht4syMbuRcbqAF0E2" alt=""><figcaption><p>Console output</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Unicode icons are printed before each result to distinguish each output type:

* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#exploit)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#ip)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#port)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#record)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#subdomain)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#tag)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#url)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#useraccount)
* [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md#vulnerability)

When an output type has a low `confidence`, the output will be dimmed:

<div align="left" data-full-width="false"><figure><img src="/files/AOw6aQSmBQBuKYwJWuAU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

***

### JSON lines (`-json`)

You can use `-json` to output live results as JSON lines:

```bash
secator x httpx example.com -json
```

{% hint style="info" %}
JSON lines output is pipeable / streameable to other tools like `jq`.
{% endhint %}

***

### Raw (`-raw`)

You can use `-raw`to output live results in plaintext format:

```
secator x httpx example.com -raw
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Raw output is saveable to txt files or can be used for chaining tasks using UNIX pipes.
{% endhint %}

***

### Custom format (`-fmt`)

You can use `-fmt`to output live results in a format of your choice:

```bash
secator x naabu example.com -fmt '{host}:{port} -> {service_name}'
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Custom formatting is based on the [Output types](/in-depth/concepts/output-types.md) fields.
{% endhint %}
