How to determine if column is auto id

Hi Everyone,
How do I determine if a column was created as

INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY NOT NULL?

I tried describe table with show detail but do not see anything indicating generated or identity in the output.

Seems like there must be a way.

Thanks.

Look in the SYSCAT.COLUMNS catalog view.

You can also do a db2look.

db2look -d db-name -t table-name -e
