lxc-profile: List all available profiles.

$ lxc profile list

try on your machine

The command "lxc profile list" is used to display a list of profiles present in the LXD (Linux Container) system.

LXD is a container hypervisor providing a lightweight, secure, and reliable environment to run multiple isolated Linux containers. Profiles are sets of configuration options that can be applied to containers to define their behavior, resource allocation, security settings, etc.

When you execute the "lxc profile list" command, it queries the LXD system for the list of available profiles. It then displays the profiles' names, along with other details like the default profile, whether it's used by any containers, and the number of containers using each profile.

The output of this command helps administrators and users understand the existing profiles, their usage, and potentially identify any misconfigurations or unused profiles that can be cleaned up.
