    REPOSITORY_OR_ARCHIVE
        repository/archive to list contents of
    PATH
        paths to list; patterns are supported


    optional arguments
        --short     only print file/directory names, nothing else
        --format FORMAT, --list-format FORMAT    specify format for file listing (default: "{mode} {user:6} {group:6} {size:8d} {isomtime} {path}{extra}{NL}")
        --json      Only valid for listing repository contents. Format output as JSON. The form of ``--format`` is ignored, but keys used in it are added to the JSON output. Some keys are always present. Note: JSON can only represent text. A "barchive" key is therefore not available.
        --json-lines    Only valid for listing archive contents. Format output as JSON Lines. The form of ``--format`` is ignored, but keys used in it are added to the JSON output. Some keys are always present. Note: JSON can only represent text. A "bpath" key is therefore not available.

    Archive filters
        -P PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX        only consider archive names starting with this prefix.
        -a GLOB, --glob-archives GLOB     only consider archive names matching the glob. sh: rules apply, see "borg help patterns". ``--prefix`` and ``--glob-archives`` are mutually exclusive.
        --sort-by KEYS                    Comma-separated list of sorting keys; valid keys are: timestamp, name, id; default is: timestamp
        --first N                         consider first N archives after other filters were applied
        --last N                          consider last N archives after other filters were applied


    Exclusion options
        -e PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN     exclude paths matching PATTERN
        --exclude-from EXCLUDEFILE        read exclude patterns from EXCLUDEFILE, one per line
        --pattern PATTERN                 experimental: include/exclude paths matching PATTERN
        --patterns-from PATTERNFILE       experimental: read include/exclude patterns from PATTERNFILE, one per line
        --exclude-caches                  exclude directories that contain a CACHEDIR.TAG file (http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html)
        --exclude-if-present NAME         exclude directories that are tagged by containing a filesystem object with the given NAME
        --keep-exclude-tags, --keep-tag-files    if tag objects are specified with ``--exclude-if-present``, don't omit the tag objects themselves from the backup archive
