 337 The 'Active'
 338 field indicates whether the boot environment is active now,
 339 represented
 340 by 'N'; active on reboot, represented by 'R'; or both, represented
 341 by 'NR'.

 343 Each line in the machine parasable output has the boot environment name as the
 344 first field.  The 'Space' field is displayed in bytes and the 'Created' field
 345 is displayed in UTC format.  The \fB-H\fR option used with no other options
 346 gives
 347 the boot environment's uuid in the second field.  This field will be
 348 blank if
 349 the boot environment does not have a uuid.  See the EXAMPLES section.
