List submodules in a git repository

I have a git repository that has several submodules in it. How do I list the names of all the submodules after git submodule init has been run?

The git submodule foreachcommand could echo the names of the submodule, but that only works once they have been checked out which has not happened after the init step. There are more steps in the chain that need to happen before they can be checked out…
