I got it,
show interface switchport
but now I have another question
what is the difference between these two statements ?
switchport trunk pruning vlan 3-4
switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 3-4

Removing the VLANs from the trunk means that no VLAN information from those vlans will be sent down the trunk.
Pruning means that if you have a switch connected with a trunk and there are no ports for vlan 3, for example, configured on a switch port, then no broadcasts for vlan 3 will be sent down that trunk.
So pruning stops broadcasts from going down a trunk link, but only if there are no configured ports for that vlan.
