NOTES

   The FORMAT specifier syntax
       The        --format        option        uses        python's        format         string         syntax
       <https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/string.html#formatstrings> .

       Examples:

          $ borg list --format '{mode} {user:6} {group:6} {size:8} {mtime} {path}{extra}{NL}' ArchiveFoo
          -rw-rw-r-- user   user       1024 Thu, 2021-12-09 10:22:17 file-foo
          ...

          # {VAR:<NUMBER} - pad to NUMBER columns left-aligned.
          # {VAR:>NUMBER} - pad to NUMBER columns right-aligned.
          $ borg list --format '{mode} {user:>6} {group:>6} {size:<8} {mtime} {path}{extra}{NL}' ArchiveFoo
          -rw-rw-r--   user   user 1024     Thu, 2021-12-09 10:22:17 file-foo
          ...
