Hi,
For the kibana saved objects API , when we run the curl command for exporting saved objects, where does the json file be stored.
curl -X POST "localhost:5601/api/saved\_objects/\_export -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '" -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"type": "index-pattern"
}'

Based on that request, it should be simply putting it to stdout in your shell. You might want to use the flag to save the output to a file as well.

`man curl` will tell you what that is.
But it's `-o`.
