DESCRIPTION

       The dotnet tool list command provides a way for you to list  .NET  global,  tool-path,  or
       local  tools  installed  on  your  machine.   The  command lists the package name, version
       installed, and the tool command.  To use the command, you specify one of the following:

       • To list global tools installed in the default location, use the --global option

       • To list global tools installed in a custom location, use the --tool-path option.

       • To list local tools, use the --local option  or  omit  the  --global,  --tool-path,  and
         --local options.

       • To list a specific tool, use the optional PACKAGE_ID argument.

ARGUMENTS

       • PACKAGE_ID

         Lists  the  tool that has the supplied package ID if the tool is installed.  Can be used
         in conjunction with options.  Provides a way to check if a specific tool was  installed.
         If  no  tool  with the specified package ID is found, the command lists headings with no
         detail rows.  The command always returns 0.

OPTIONS

       • -g|--global

         Lists user-wide global tools.  Can’t be combined with the --tool-path option.   Omitting
         both --global and --tool-path lists local tools.

       • -?|-h|--help

         Prints out a description of how to use the command.

       • --local

         Lists  local  tools  for  the current directory.  Can’t be combined with the --global or
         --tool-path options.  Omitting both --global and --tool-path lists local tools  even  if
         --local is not specified.

       • --tool-path <PATH>

         Specifies  a  custom  location  where  to  find  global  tools.  PATH can be absolute or
         relative.  Can’t be combined with the  --global  option.   Omitting  both  --global  and
         --tool-path lists local tools.
