# unwrap

The `unwrap` command unwraps a wrapped secret from Vault by the given token. The result is the same as the "vault read" operation on the non-wrapped secret. If no token is given, the data in the currently authenticated token is unwrapped.

### Examples <a href="#examples" id="examples"></a>

Unwrap the data in the cubbyhole secrets engine for a token:

```shell-session
$ vault unwrap 3de9ece1-b347-e143-29b0-dc2dc31caafd
```

Unwrap the data in the active token:

```shell-session
$ vault login 848f9ccf-7176-098c-5e2b-75a0689d41cd
$ vault unwrap # unwraps 848f9ccf...
```

### Usage <a href="#usage" id="usage"></a>

The following flags are available in addition to the standard set of flags included on all commands.

#### Output options <a href="#output-options" id="output-options"></a>

* `-field` `(string: "")` - Print only the field with the given name, in the format specified in the `-format` directive. The result will not have a trailing newline making it ideal for piping to other processes.
* `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output in the given format. Valid formats are "table", "json", or "yaml". This can also be specified via the `VAULT_FORMAT` environment variable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enclaive.cloud/vault/cli/unwrap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
