# Listing Snapshots

**prlctl snapshot-list** <_vm\_id_ | _vm\_name_> \[{**-t**,**--tree**] | \[**-i**,**--id** <_snapid_>}] \[**-j**, **json**]

Lists the virtual machine snapshot tree. There are three modes of snapshot listing:

* If the **-t**, **--tree** option is specified, the tree is displayed using ASCII graphics.
* If the **-i**, **--id** <_snapid_> option is specified, the specified snapshot information is displayed.
* If no option is specified, the snapshot tree is displayed as a table with two columns: PARENT\_SNAPSHOT\_ID, SNAPSHOT\_ID.

The optional **-j**, **--json** parameter produces an output in JSON format.
