What is -o in this DotNet Core 6 CLI command?-CodePudding

What is -o in this DotNet CLI command 'dotnet new webapi -o RESTfulAPIName'? DotNet Core SDK version is 6.0.403, it may be silly but still I want to know, couldn't found it anywhere even not on MSDN.

CodePudding user response：

It's the Output flag. It's used to change the location of the scaffolded files to another directory name. By default, the code is placed in ./<ProjectName>/.

You can see the documentation for this flag by running dotnet new --help or online.
