The options should be written after the command. The global options are options of the tabul command and can then be placed anywhere.

For instance:

• this command is valid because passphrase is global option

tabul --passphrase secret connection list

• this command is not valid because attribute is an option of the connection list command and should be written afterwards.

# not valid
tabul --attribute user connection list
# valid
tabul connection list --attribute user
