Network Command for Listing Wireless networks

So, lets say I'm using iwconfig to connect to wireless networks, but need the essid for the network to connect to it. Which command should I go about to list all the essids that I could connect to? It would also be nice if you where to also list the arguments that I need to pass for the command to work as I want to.

Thanks,
Octal.
