What is the meaning of the phrase 'listing off'?

list someone or something off:

to recite a list of people or things, one by one.

It means that the writer misspelled “of” as “off”.

The asker is quoting a data dictionary.* The data dictionary lists the name of each field and what it contains. The field in question (the services field) contains a

Listing *off registered services (nova-scheduler, nova-compute and so on) and their current state.

This is awkward, and as soon the extra f is removed, the awkwardness is gone. The field then contains a

Listing of registered services (nova-scheduler, nova-compute and so on) and their current state.

Others have pointed out that to list off is a verb phrase meaning to recite from a list. This is quite true. But in this context a verb phrase makes no sense. In a description of what a field contains, you expect an object (a list), not a verb (to list).

Still, I suppose it is possible the author intended that the field contains the result when you list off, what you might describe as a listing-off. But then you need the hyphen, and you still need the word of to connect it to the rest of the sentence: the field contains a

Listing-off of registered services (nova-scheduler, nova-compute and so on) and their current state.

If the OP is still in doubt of what was intended I suggest contacting the author.
