# CSV Run Output Schema Reference

This example shows how to create a comma-separated values (CSV) formatted output file when using the `--output-file` flag of the `code-analyzer run` command.

```bash
sf code-analyzer run --output-file results.csv
```

## Sample CSV Run Output

This sample output shows 3 violations with different severities from different engines.

```csv

```

## Properties of the CSV Run Output File

All property values are wrapped in double quotes which allows for comma-separated properties, such as the list of tags associated with the violation.

CSV output includes only the primary location of a violation. If a violation has multiple locations, you must rerun the scan and specify any other output format, such as SARIF or JSON, to see all the locations.
