If true, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.
--field-selector=""

-f, --filename=[]
Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to update the labels
--include-uninitialized=false
If true, the kubectl command applies to uninitialized objects. If explicitly set to false, this flag overrides other flags that make the kubectl commands apply to uninitialized objects, e.g., "--all". Objects with empty metadata.initializers are regarded as initialized.
-k, --kustomize=""

--list=false
If true, display the labels for a given resource.
--local=false

--overwrite=false
If true, allow labels to be overwritten, otherwise reject label updates that overwrite existing labels.
--record=false
Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the command. If set to true, record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing annotation value only if one already exists.
-R, --recursive=false
Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--resource-version=""
If non-empty, the labels update will only succeed if this is the current resource-version for the object. Only valid when specifying a single resource.
-l, --selector=""
Selector (label query) to filter on, not including uninitialized ones, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2).
--template=""
