+  bcache-impermanence ls [-nN] [--snapshot-root DIR]

+
+Subcommands:
+  gc    Run garbage collection on old root snapshots.
+  ls    List snapshots (newest first). With -nN prints N latest.
+  diff  Browse and diff files/dirs between current system and a snapshot.
+
+Options:
+  --snapshot-root DIR        Override snapshot root directory (default: /.snapshots/old_roots).
+  --keep-per-month N         For gc: keep at least N snapshots per calendar month.
+  --keep-recent-weeks N      For gc: keep at least one snapshot per ISO week within the last N weeks.
+  --keep-recent-count N      For gc: always keep at least N most recent snapshots overall.
+  --dry-run                  For gc: show what would be deleted.
+  --max-depth N              For diff: limit scan depth under each prefix.
