The "snap list" command is used in the command-line interface of the Ubuntu operating system to display a list of installed snap packages.
On Ubuntu, snap packages are a type of software package that contain all the dependencies and libraries required to run an application. They are self-contained and isolated from the rest of the system, providing a secure and consistent way to distribute software.
When you run the "snap list" command, it will list all the installed snap packages on your system along with their versions, the developer or publisher information, and the respective installation status. You will see a table with columns such as "Name", "Version", "Rev", "Tracking", "Publisher", and "Notes".
The information provided by "snap list" helps you to keep track of the snap packages installed on your system and their respective versions. It can be particularly useful for managing and updating installed snaps or troubleshooting potential issues.
