NOTES

The FORMAT specifier syntax

The --format option uses python's format string syntax.

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]
