Limiting list return size
=========================

Keystone provides a method of setting a limit to the number of entities
returned in a collection, which is useful to prevent overly long response times
for list queries that have not specified a sufficiently narrow filter. This
limit can be set globally by setting ``list_limit`` in the default section of
``keystone.conf``, with no limit set by default. Individual driver sections may
override this global value with a specific limit, for example:

.. code-block:: ini

    [resource]
    list_limit = 100

If a response to ``list_{entity}`` call has been truncated, then the response
status code will still be 200 (OK), but the ``truncated`` attribute in the
collection will be set to ``true``.
