Get names of padstacks used in footprint via command prompt

Is there any way to get names of padstacks used in footprint without having to checking it directly in Allegro i.e. via command prompt? I only know that I can check the footprint software version using dbstat, but how to get other data in a similar way?

    Hey! Thank you for the answer. It does the job, but how to use it outside the footprint using windows command line? I have to do it on a large number of footprints and doing it manually would take too much time.

    I have found that the report -v pad command works almost perfectly:

    but it gives a lot of unneccesary data including (unpurged) padstacks which are not used in the footprint.

    Oh, it occured that all I needed is to just replace "pad" with "psu" in above command.
