.SH DESCRIPTION
This utility is used for listing containers and their parameters.
By default only running containers are listed.
If one or more \fICTID\fRs are specified, only specified containers are
displayed.
.PP
For some fields that can have long values (e.g. \fBip\fR, \fBhostname\fR,
\fBdescription\fR or \fBfeatures\fR), the value string is trimmed to some
predefined width (in order not to break the columned layout), unless this
field is the last one. So, in order to get the full non-trimmed value for
such a field, put the field name last in the list of fields for
\fB-o\fR option. If using \fBvzlist\fR from a script, add \fB-t\fR
to disable trimming.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB-a\fR, \fB--all\fR"
List all containers.
.IP "\fB-S\fR, \fB--stopped\fR"
List only not running containers (including the ones with status shown as
\fBmounted\fR or \fBsuspended\fR).
.IP "\fB-n\fR, \fB--name\fR"
Display container names instead of hostnames.
.IP "\fB-H\fR, \fB--no-header\fR"
Suppress displaying the header row. Usable for scripts.
.IP "\fB-t\fR, \fB--no-trim\fR"
Suppress trimming long fields. Usable for scripts.
.IP "\fB-j\fR, \fB--json\fR"
Output in JSON format. By default, all possible fields are printed.
.IP "\fB-o\fR, \fB--output\fR \fIfield\fR[,\fIfield\fR...]"
Display only the specified \fIfield\fRs (see \fBPossible fields\fR
subsection below).
.IP \fB-1\fR
Synonym for \fB-H -octid\fR, i.e. only show container IDs, one per line.
.IP "\fB-s\fR, \fB--sort\fR [\fB-\fR]\fIfield\fR"
Sort by the value of \fIfield\fR (possible arguments are the same
as for \fB-o\fR). The \fB-\fR before the field name means sorting
in the reverse order.
.SS Output filters
List of CTs can be further filtered using the following options.
For patterns one can use the same wildcards as in shell
(i.e. \fB*\fR, \fB?\fR, and \fB[]\fR).
Note: to avoid expansion of wildcards by the shell, one have to escape
the pattern by either putting it into single quotes (like \fB'a*a'\fR)
or by adding a backslash before the wildcard character (like \fBa\\*a\fR).
.IP "\fB-h\fR, \fB--hostname\fR \fIpattern\fR"
List only containers whose hostnames matches the \fIpattern\fR.
.IP "\fB-N\fR, \fB--name_filter\fR \fIpattern\fR"
List only containers whose names matches the \fIpattern\fR.
.IP "\fB-d\fR, \fB--description\fR \fIpattern\fR"
List only containers with descriptions matching the \fIpattern\fR.
.SS Possible fields
.IP "\fB-L\fR, \fB--list\fR"
list all available format specifiers that can be used for
both output (\fB-o\fR, \fB--output\fR) and the sorting order
(\fB-s\fR, \fB--sort\fR).
.P
For the user beancounter fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage
(a.k.a. "held") value is show. One can also use the following suffixes:
.TP
.B .m
maxheld
.TP
.B .b
barrier
.TP
.B .l
limit
.TP
.B .f
fail counter
.PP
For the disk quota fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage
is shown. One can also use the following suffixes:
.TP
.B .s
soft limit
.TP
.B .h
hard limit
.P
Note that for JSON output suffixes are not allowed.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
.B vzlist -o ctid,kmemsize,kmemsize.l -s kmemsize
Show CTIDs, kmemsize usage, and kmemsize limit for all running containers,
sorted by the kmemsize usage.
.SH EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 upon success.
