## The `pull` subcommand

The `terraform state pull` command is used to manually download and output the state from a remote backend. This command also works with the local back-end.

### Syntax
The `pull` subcommand has the following syntax: `terraform state pull [options]`.

This command is equivalent to viewing the contents of the Terraform state directly, in a read-only mode. The output of the command is sent in JSON format. Let’s run the following command to send the output in JSON format:
```
cp terraform.tfstate tfstate-file-download.json
```
Then, we view the content of this file by running the following command:

```
cat tfstate-file-download.json
```

### Use of the `pull` subcommand

The primary use of the subcommand is to read the contents of the remote state. If we were using the local back-end, we could just as easily use `cat` on the local file.

Let’s run the following command to read the content of the remote state:
