+.SH Name
+borg-known-repos \- List repositories Borg has local state for (security info and/or cache).
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+borg [common options] known\-repos [options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+Lists the repositories this local Borg installation currently has state for \-
+security info (key type, last known location), a local repository cache, and/or key
+files \- without accessing any repository itself (\-r/\-\-repo has no effect). \(dqLayout\(dq
+is which state was found in (not the on\-disk repository format, see \(dqborg repo\-info\(dq
+for that) \- a security\-only repo gets \(dqunknown\(dq when $BORG_SECURITY_DIR makes the
+borg2 and legacy security roots coincide; \(dqLast written\(dq is the cache config\(aqs mtime,
+a best\-effort last\-used proxy, not an exact timestamp and not a staleness check on its
+own; a mismatch between a legacy repo\(aqs known location and its cache\(aqs last location
+is flagged; a key file\(aqs presence does not by itself mean the repository is still
+openable. Use \-\-json for a machine\-readable version.

+Description

+
+Lists the repositories this local Borg installation currently has state for -
+security info (key type, last known location), a local repository cache, and/or key
+files - without accessing any repository itself (-r/--repo has no effect). "Layout"
+is which state was found in (not the on-disk repository format, see "borg repo-info"
+for that) - a security-only repo gets "unknown" when $BORG_SECURITY_DIR makes the
+borg2 and legacy security roots coincide; "Last written" is the cache config's mtime,
+a best-effort last-used proxy, not an exact timestamp and not a staleness check on its
+own; a mismatch between a legacy repo's known location and its cache's last location
+is flagged; a key file's presence does not by itself mean the repository is still
+openable. Use --json for a machine-readable version.
