Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

This command lists the archives contained in a repository.

.. man NOTES

The FORMAT specifier syntax
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The ``--format`` option uses python's `format string syntax
<https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/string.html#formatstrings>`_.

Examples:
::

    $ borg rlist --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 rlist --format '{archive:36} {time} [{id}]{NL}' /path/to/repo
    ArchiveFoo                           Thu, 2021-12-09 10:22:28 [0b8e9a312bef3f2f6e2d0fc110c196827786c15eba0188738e81697a7fa3b274]
    ...

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, see barchive and bpath keys below
- SPACE
- TAB
- CR
- LF

Keys available only when listing archives in a repository:

- archive: archive name interpreted as text (might be missing non-text characters, see barchive)
- name: alias of "archive"
- barchive: verbatim archive name, can contain any character except NUL
- comment: archive comment interpreted as text (might be missing non-text characters, see bcomment)
- bcomment: verbatim archive comment, can contain any character except NUL
- id: internal ID of the archive

- start: time (start) of creation of the archive
- time: alias of "start"
- end: time (end) of creation of the archive
- command_line: command line which was used to create the archive

- hostname: hostname of host on which this archive was created
- username: username of user who created this archive
