Mini Shell

"""
Simple text outputter
=====================

The ``txt`` outputter has been developed to make the output from shell commands
on minions appear as they do when the command is executed on the minion.

CLI Example:

.. code-block:: bash

    salt '*' foo.bar --out=txt

    Output the data in lines, very nice for running commands
