        --oldest TIMESPAN                        consider archives between the oldest archive's timestamp and (oldest + TIMESPAN), e.g. 7d or 12m.
        --newest TIMESPAN                        consider archives between the newest archive's timestamp and (newest - TIMESPAN), e.g. 7d or 12m.

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 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
- LF: line feed character


Keys available only when listing archives in a repository:

- archive: archive name
- name: alias of "archive"
- comment: archive comment
- 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

- size: size of this archive (data plus metadata, not considering compression and deduplication)
- nfiles: count of files in this archive
