AWS CLI list-policies to find a policy with a specific name

I am trying to locate a policy in AWS with a specific name via the aws cli. I tried get-policy first but it threw and error. Now I am trying list-policies and putting in a prefix. According to the documentation if I start and end the string with a forward slash it should search but it hasn't been working. I get an empty array back... any ideas?

aws iam list-policies --scope Local --path-prefix /policyname.xyz/

You can use the --query flag. For example, for exact search,

aws iam list-policies --query 'Policies[?PolicyName==`policyname.xyz`]'

If you want more flexible search, you can refer to https://jmespath.org/specification.html for some functions for example 'to start with policynamexxx'

aws iam list-policies --query 'Policies[?starts_with(PolicyName,`policynamexxx`)]'
