list-folders

dci list-folders [flags]

Returns Cloud Analytics folders the current customer has access to. Folders are returned in id-ascending order.

CLI default view

dci list-folders presents a curated table by default:

  • Columns: name, description, and parent folder (parentFolderId resolved to the folder name; blank for top-level folders).
  • --output json and explicit -C/--fields selections return the raw fields documented below.

Flags

--max-results: (integer format:int64 default:50)

--page-token: (string)

Output

OK - The request succeeded.

By default dci renders the result as a table. Use --output json to get the full structure described below — see Output formats.
