the capitalized 'P' looks like it's part of the UUID abbreviation. The
UUIDs are long, I think you can print 'parent UUID' in the header, the
name for command line argument 'puuid' is understable.

This clashes with my efforts to make the options consistent so that we
can have a lowercase for column selection and uppercase for filter. In
case of the parent UUID,  it makes sense to filter by it, eg when we
have a hierarchy of subvolumes that keep the same structure but is
replicated several times.

I suggest to pick a different letter than 'P', say 'q'. (-q is usually
used for 'no verbose output' in utilities, but it does not make much
sense in context of 'subvol list' so I hope it's ok from the UI POV).

        "-t           print the result as a table",
        "-s           list snapshots only in the filesystem",
        "-r           list readonly subvolumes (including snapshots)",

Thanks,
david
