15 List workspaces of the calling user. The output can be restricted to
16 workspaces in a certain FILESYSTEM, matching a certain PATTERN, and can
17 be sorted according to different criterias.

20 The idea of the workspace is to allow the administrator to keep control
21 of filespace in working filesystems, and to avoid the situations that
22 data of past and finished projects/jobs is idling for ever on disks. A
23 user can create and dispose arbitrary number of workspaces, they are
24 cheap, and can be created e.g. for each job.
25
26 From the system side, workspaces will be deleted after beeing expired.
27 A friendly user can release workspaces before the expiration date using
28 ws_release which will mark the workspace for future deletion.
29
30 Deletion is probably a task done once a night and not immediately.
31
32 If a workspace was forgotten and expired, it might make sense to con‐
33 tact the administrator, as he probaly can restore a workspace for some
34 time, if disk space is not low.
