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
