If the value specified for -n is greater than the number of sessions present on the local machine, all of the sessions are listed (same result as running turbo sessions).

Formatting Results ​

The table that is returned by the sessions command is space-formatted. If you wish to return the table with tabs between each column then use the --csv flag.

> turbo sessions --csv

Data in the table returned by the sessions command is truncated so that it prints nicely and is easily readable in a command prompt. If you wish to view the untruncated data in each column, use the --no-trunc flag.

> turbo sessions --no-trunc

The --no-trunc flag includes additional columns in the output, Ports, Settings and VM version, as seen below.

The Ports column contains active port mappings. See the turbo netstat command for more information. The VM version contains version number of VM used to create and run session.

JSON output ​

When --format=json option was passed this command will provide output in JSON format. It will contain either a sessions array with information about available sessions or an error object if command failed.
