```

## Display Selected YouTube Channels
Display YouTube channels selected by ID.
```
gam <UserTypeEntity> show youtubechannels
channels <YouTubeChannelIDList>
[allfields|(fields <YouTubeChannelFieldNameList>)]
[formatjson]
```
By default, only the YouTube channel ID is displayed; use `allfields|fields` to selct 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>*]
[channels <YouTubeChannelIDList>]
[allfields|(fields <YouTubeChannelFieldNameList>)]
[formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]
```
By default, only the YouTube channel ID is displayed; use `allfields|fields` to selct additional fields for display.
By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format,
* `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.
## Display Owned YouTube Channels

```
gam <UserTypeEntity> show youtubechannels
[allfields|(fields <YouTubeChannelFieldNameList>)]
[formatjson]
```
By default, only the YouTube channel ID is displayed; use `allfields|fields` to selct additional fields for display.
