snapper: List snapshots for a config.
$ snapper -c ${config} list
try on your machine

The command "snapper -c ${config} list" is used to list all available snapshots within a specific snapper configuration.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "snapper" is the command-line tool used for managing snapshots in openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise.
  • "-c" is the option used to specify the snapper configuration to work with. In this case, "${config}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the configuration you want to list snapshots for.
  • "list" is the subcommand that tells snapper to display a list of existing snapshots for the specified configuration.

By running this command and replacing "${config}" with the desired configuration name, you can see all the snapshots that have been created within that specific configuration.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
