From 162e5993095f147e434bb09c2de195ad31251d9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Francis Laniel <flaniel@linux.microsoft.com>
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2023 18:29:28 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] output: Add new output mode: cmd.

This new output is thought to be used when executing a command in a VM/VMSS.
It permits to print the output of the command like if this was executed locally.
