# get

Open given cells as text.

Syntax: `get  ...args`

### Parameters:

* `args`: optionally return additional data by path

## Examples

If we run `sys` we receive a table which contains tables itself:

```shell
> sys
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 host                                   │ cpu                                │ disks          │ mem                                   │ temp           │ net            │ battery
────────────────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┼────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────┼────────────────┼────────────────┼────────────────
 [row arch hostname name release uptime │ [row cores current ghz max ghz min │ [table 7 rows] │ [row free swap free swap total total] │ [table 6 rows] │ [table 3 rows] │ [table 1 rows]
 users]                                 │ ghz]                               │                │                                       │                │                │
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

To access one of the embedded tables we can use the `get` command

```shell
> sys | get cpu
━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 cores │ current ghz       │ min ghz            │ max ghz
───────┼───────────────────┼────────────────────┼───────────────────
     4 │ 1.530000000000000 │ 0.5000000000000000 │ 3.500000000000000
━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
```shell
> sys | get battery
━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 vendor │ model    │ mins to full
────────┼──────────┼──────────────────
 SMP    │ L14M2P21 │ 16.7024000000000
━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━┷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

There's also the ability to pass multiple parameters to `get` which results in an output like this

```shell
sys | get cpu battery
━━━┯━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 # │ cores │ current ghz       │ min ghz            │ max ghz           │ vendor │ model    │ mins to full
