# Command: state show
The `terraform state show` command is used to show the attributes of a
single resource in the
[Terraform state](/language/state).
## Usage
Usage: `terraform state show [options] ADDRESS`
The command will show the attributes of a single resource in the
state file that matches the given address.
This command requires an address that points to a single resource in the
state. Addresses are
in [resource addressing format](/cli/state/resource-addressing).
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
* `-state=path` - Path to the state file. Defaults to "terraform.tfstate".
Ignored when [remote state](/language/state/remote) is used.
The output of `terraform state show` is intended for human consumption, not
programmatic consumption. To extract state data for use in other software, use
[`terraform show -json`](/cli/commands/show#json-output) and decode the result
using the documented structure.
## Example: Show a Resource
The example below shows a `packet_device` resource named `worker`:
```
$ terraform state show 'packet_device.worker'
# packet_device.worker:
resource "packet_device" "worker" {
billing_cycle = "hourly"
created = "2015-12-17T00:06:56Z"
facility = "ewr1"
hostname = "prod-xyz01"
id = "6015bg2b-b8c4-4925-aad2-f0671d5d3b13"
locked = false
}
```
## Example: Show a Module Resource
The example below shows a `packet_device` resource named `worker` inside a module named `foo`:
```shell
$ terraform state show 'module.foo.packet_device.worker'
```
## Example: Show a Resource configured with count
The example below shows the first instance of a `packet_device` resource named `worker` configured with
[`count`](/language/meta-arguments/count):
```shell
$ terraform state show 'packet_device.worker[0]'
```
## Example: Show a Resource configured with for_each
The example below shows the `"example"` instance of a `packet_device` resource named `worker` configured with
[`for_each`](/language/meta-arguments/for_each):
Linux, Mac OS, and UNIX:
```shell
$ terraform state show 'packet_device.worker["example"]'
```
PowerShell:
```shell
$ terraform state show 'packet_device.worker[\"example\"]'
```
Windows `cmd.exe`:
```shell
$ terraform state show packet_device.worker[\"example\"]
```
