NOTES

  The FORMAT specifier syntax

The --format option uses Python's format string syntax <https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/string.html#formatstrings> .

Examples:

    $ borg repo-list --format '{archive}{NL}'
    ArchiveFoo
    ArchiveBar
    ...
    # {VAR:NUMBER} - pad to NUMBER columns.
    # Strings are left-aligned, numbers are right-aligned.
    # Note: time columns except ``isomtime``, ``isoctime`` and ``isoatime`` cannot be padded.
    $ borg repo-list --format '{archive:36} {time} [{id}]{NL}' /path/to/repo
    ArchiveFoo                           Thu, 2021-12-09 10:22:28 [0b8e9...3b274]
    ...

The following keys are always available:

•   NEWLINE: OS dependent line separator

•   NL: alias of NEWLINE

•   NUL: NUL character for creating print0 / xargs -0 like output

•   SPACE: space character

•   TAB: tab character

•   CR: carriage return character

•   id: internal ID of the archive

•   tags: archive tags
