         (forusername <String>)|
         (managedbyme <String>))
        [languagecode <BCP47LanguageCode>]
        [allfields|(fields <YouTubeChannelFieldNameList>)]
        [formatjson]

By default, only the YouTube channel ID is displayed; use allfields|fields to select additional fields for display.

By default, Gam displays the YouTube channels as an indented list of keys and values.

• formatjson - Display the YouTube channels in JSON format

gam <UserTypeEntity> print youtubechannels [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        (mine|
         (ids|channels <YouTubeChannelIDList>)|
         (forusername <String>)|
         (managedbyme <String>))
        [languagecode <BCP47LanguageCode>]
        [allfields|(fields <YouTubeChannelFieldNameList>)]
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]

• formatjson - Display the fields in JSON format.

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote ". The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled. When using the formatjson option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/proces output. The quotechar <Character> option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/procesable output. quotechar defaults to gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote " should be used.
