distrobox list
DESCRIPTION
distrobox list lists available distroboxes. It detects them and lists them
separately from the rest of normal containers. The ls alias works too.
SYNOPSIS
distrobox list (alias: distrobox ls)
--help/-h: show this message
--no-color: disable color formatting
--root/-r: launch podman/docker/lilipod with root privileges. Note that if you need root this is the preferred
way over "sudo distrobox" (note: if using a program other than 'sudo' for root privileges is necessary,
specify it through the DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM env variable, or 'distrobox_sudo_program' config variable)
--verbose/-v: show more verbosity
--version/-V: show version
EXAMPLES

You can also use environment variables to specify container manager

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DBX_CONTAINER_MANAGER
