How do I download ONLY the YouTube playlist, NOT the files therein?

In youtube-dl, I'm trying to get only the playlist content (should be 600+ entries) from a URL, thus:

youtube-dl -i -v --flat-playlist --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNotezuR73g&list=PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr

which according to the man page should list playlist entries while preventing file download.

Instead it hangs, after producing this output:

~ $ youtube-dl -i -v --flat-playlist --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNotezuR73g&list=PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr  [1] 4531  ~ $ [debug] System config: []  [debug] User config: []  [debug] Custom config: []  [debug] Command-line args: ['-i', '-v', '--flat-playlist', '--skip-download', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNotezuR73g']  [debug] Encodings: locale UTF-8, fs utf-8, out UTF-8, pref UTF-8  [debug] youtube-dl version 2018.07.10  [debug] Python version 3.6.6 (CPython) - Linux-4.17.6-1-ARCH-x86_64-with-arch  [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg 4.0.1, ffprobe 4.0.1, rtmpdump 2.4  [debug] Proxy map: {}  [youtube] CNotezuR73g: Downloading webpage  [youtube] CNotezuR73g: Downloading video info webpage  [debug] Default format spec: bestvideo+bestaudio/best  

How should I do this?
