.. Note::

    The <OUTPUT FORMAT OPTION(s)> includes both the output option and output file name.
    For example in the command ``scancode -clpieu --json-pp output.json samples``,
    ``--json-pp output.json`` is <OUTPUT FORMAT OPTION(s)>.

.. WARNING::

    There isn't a "Default" output option in Versions 3.x onwards, you have to
    specify <OUTPUT FORMAT OPTION(s)> explicitly.
