    using System;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using Amazon.Organizations;

    public class ListOrganizationalUnitsForParent
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes the Organizations client object and then uses it to
        /// call the ListOrganizationalUnitsForParentAsync method to retrieve
        /// the list of organizational units.

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To retrieve a list of the OUs in a parent OU or root**  
The following example shows you how to get a list of OUs in a specified root:  

```
aws organizations list-organizational-units-for-parent --parent-id r-examplerootid111
```
The output shows that the specified root contains two OUs and shows details of each:  

```
{
        "OrganizationalUnits": [
                {
                        "Name": "AccountingDepartment",
                        "Arn": "arn:aws:organizations::o-exampleorgid:ou/r-examplerootid111/ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid111"
                },
                {
                        "Name": "ProductionDepartment",
                        "Arn": "arn:aws:organizations::o-exampleorgid:ou/r-examplerootid111/ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid222"
                }
        ]
}
```
