Get a list of email alerts for a list/library

Hello,

I have a requirement of getting a list of users who are subscribed to a list on SP 2013. I can't really do it through the user interface because it's a high-usage site, and there are lots of user alerts. How can I get this list of users through PowerShell or the database? I tried a couple of things but they didn't work out for me.

Thank you
Dee
