Paths can be prefixed using the 'prefix' command.
The complete yaml content will be nested inside the new prefix path.
```
yq p <yaml_file> <path>
```
### To Stdout
Given a data1.yaml file of:
```yaml
a: simple
b: [1, 2]
```
then
```bash
yq p data1.yaml c
```
will output:
```yaml
c:
a: simple
b: [1, 2]
```
### Arbitrary depth
Given a data1.yaml file of:
```yaml
a:
b: [1, 2]
```
then
```bash
yq p data1.yaml c.d
```
will output:
```yaml
c:
d:
a:
b: [1, 2]
```
### Updating files in-place
Given a data1.yaml file of:
```yaml
a: simple
b: [1, 2]
```
then
```bash
yq p -i data1.yaml c
```
will update the data1.yaml file so that the path 'c' is prefixed to all other paths.
