# `list` command
|
||||
|
||||
The `list` command is used to list all the entries in the password store or at a given prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
## Synopsis
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass ls
|
||||
$ gopass ls path/to/entries
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- List all the entries in the password store including the one in mounted stores: `gopass list`
|
||||
- List all the entries in a given folder showing their relative path from the root: `gopass list path/to/entries`
|
||||
|
||||
Note: `list` will not change anything, nor encrypt or decrypt anything.
|
||||
|
||||
## Flags
|
||||
|
||||
Flag | Aliases | Description
|
||||
---- | ------- | -----------
|
||||
`--limit value` | `-l value`| Max tree depth (default: -1)
|
||||
` --flat ` |` -f` | Print a flat list of secrets (default: false)
|
||||
` --folders` | `-d` | Print a flat list of folders (default: false)
|
||||
` --strip-prefix` | `-s` | Strip prefix from filtered entries (default: false)
|
||||
|
||||
The `--flat` and `--folders` flags provide a plaintext list of the entries located at
|
||||
the given prefix (default prefix being the root `/`). They are notably used to produce the
|
||||
completion results.
|
||||
The `--flat` one will list all entries, one per line, using its full path.
|
||||
The `--folders` one will display all the folders, one per line, recursively per level.
|
||||
For instance an entry `folder/sub/entry` would cause it to list both:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass list --folders
|
||||
folder
|
||||
folder/sub
|
||||
```
|
||||
whereas `gopass list --flat` would have just displayed one line: `folder/sub/entry`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `--strip-prefix` flag is meant to be used along with `--flat` or `--folders`.
|
||||
It will list the relative path from the current prefix, removing the said prefix,
|
||||
instead of listing the relative paths from the root.
|
||||
For instance on entry `folder/sub/entry`, running `gopass ls -f -s folder` would display
|
||||
only `sub/entry` instead of `folder/sub/entry`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `--limit` flag starts counting its depth from the root store, which means that
|
||||
a depth of 0 only lists the items in the root gopass store:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass list -l 0
|
||||
gopass
|
||||
├── bar
|
||||
├── foo
|
||||
└── test (/home/user/.local/share/gopass/stores/substore1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
A value of 1 would list all the items in the root, plus their sub-items but no more:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass list -l 1
|
||||
gopass
|
||||
├── bar
|
||||
│ └── bar
|
||||
├── foo
|
||||
│ ├── bar
|
||||
│ └── foo
|
||||
└── test (/home/user/.local/share/gopass/stores/substore1)
|
||||
└── foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
A negative value lists all the items without any depth limit.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass list -l -1
|
||||
gopass
|
||||
├── bar
|
||||
│ └── bar
|
||||
├── foo
|
||||
│ ├── bar
|
||||
│ │ ├── bar
|
||||
│ │ │ └── bar
|
||||
│ │ └── baz
|
||||
│ └── foo
|
||||
└── test (/home/user/.local/share/gopass/stores/substore1)
|
||||
└── foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The flags can be used together: `gopass -l 1 -d` will list only the folders up to a depth of 1:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass list -l 1 -d
|
||||
bar
|
||||
foo
|
||||
foo/bar
|
||||
test
|
||||
test/foo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Shadowing
|
||||
It is possible to have a path that is both an entry and a folder. In that case the list command
|
||||
will always display the folder and the entry is "shadowed", but it can still be accessed using
|
||||
`gopass show path/to/it`, while the content of the folder can be listed using `gopass list path/to/it`.
|
||||
|
||||
It should also be noted that the `mount` command can completely "shadow" an entry in a password store,
|
||||
simply by having the same name and this entry and its subentries will not be visible
|
||||
using `ls` anymore until the substore is unmounted.
|
||||
The entries shadowed by a mount will not show up in a search and cannot be accessed at all without unmounting.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance in our example above, maybe there is an entry test/zaz in the root store,
|
||||
but since the substore is mounted as `test/`, it only displays the content of the substore.
|
||||
Unmounting it reveals its shadowed entries:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ gopass list test
|
||||
test
|
||||
└── foo
|
||||
$ gopass mounts rm test
|
||||
$ gopass list test
|
||||
test
|
||||
└── zaz
|
||||
```
