**To get information about a handshake**
The following example shows you how to request details about a handshake. The handshake ID comes either from the original call to ``InviteAccountToOrganization``, or from a call to ``ListHandshakesForAccount`` or ``ListHandshakesForOrganization``: ::
aws organizations describe-handshake --handshake-id h-examplehandshakeid111
The output includes a handshake object that has all the details about the requested handshake: ::
