The following `list-objects-v2` example command shows how you can use the AWS CLI to list objects from Amazon S3. This command lists objects from the directory bucket `bucket-base-name--zone-id--x-s3`. To run this command, replace the `user input placeholders` with your own information.

```
aws s3api list-objects-v2 --bucket bucket-base-name--zone-id--x-s3
```
