+  Store the values for the request header, body, and so on, in a file, which you then specify with the --file flag;
+  see the description of --file for more information:
+

+
+FLAG DESCRIPTIONS
+  -f, --file=file  JSON file that contains values for the request header, body, method, and URL.
+
+    Use this flag instead of specifying the request details with individual flags, such as --body or --method. This
+    schema defines how to create the JSON file:
+
+    {
+    url: { raw: string } | string;
+    method: 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH', 'HEAD', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS', 'TRACE';
+    description?: string;
+    header: string | Array<Record<string, string>>;
+    body: { mode: 'raw' | 'formdata'; raw: string; formdata: FormData };
+    }
+
+    Salesforce CLI defined this schema to be mimic Postman schemas; both share similar properties. The CLI's schema also
+    supports Postman Collections to reuse and share requests. As a result, you can build an API call using Postman,
+    export and save it to a file, and then use the file as a value to this flag. For information about Postman, see
+    https://learning.postman.com/.
+
+    Here's a simple example of a JSON file that contains values for the request URL, method, and body:
+
+    {
+    "url": "sobjects/Account/<Account ID>",
+    "method": "PATCH",
+    "body" : {
+    "mode": "raw",
+    "raw": {
+    "BillingCity": "Boise"
+    }
+    }
+    }
+
+    See more examples in the plugin-api test directory, including JSON files that use "formdata" to define collections:
+    https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-api/tree/main/test/test-files/data-project.
