This command describes the fields associated with each supported API resource. Fields are identified via a simple
JSONPath identifier:
<type>.<fieldName>[.<fieldName>]
Add the --recursive flag to display all of the fields at once without descriptions. Information about each field is
retrieved from the server in OpenAPI format.
Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources.
Examples:
# Get the documentation of the resource and its fields
kubectl explain pods
# Get the documentation of a specific field of a resource
kubectl explain pods.spec.containers
Options:
--api-version='': Get different explanations for particular API version (API group/version)
--recursive=false: Print the fields of fields (Currently only 1 level deep)
Usage:
kubectl explain RESOURCE [options]
Use "kubectl options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).
