// Use environment defaults
const result = await list();

// Override bucket
const result = await list({
  config: { bucket: "different-bucket" },
});

// Override all config
const result = await list({
  config: {
    bucket: "my-bucket",
    accessKeyId: "key",
    secretAccessKey: "secret",
  },
});
