Always a good place for detailed explanations. A quick way to list all 
properties is to use the get command to cause a usage output.

zpool get
usage:
     get <"all" | property[,...]> <pool> ...

the following properties are supported:

     PROPERTY           EDIT   VALUES

     allocated          NO   <size>
     capacity           NO   <size>
...

zfs get
missing property argument
usage:
     get [-rHp] [-d max] [-o "all" | field[,...]] [-t type[,...]] [-s 
source[,...]]
       <"all" | property[,...]> [filesystem|volume|snapshot] ...

The following properties are supported:

     PROPERTY       EDIT  INHERIT   VALUES

     available        NO       NO   <size>
     clones           NO       NO   <dataset>[,...]
...
