# 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.
