lxc-info(1)

NAME

lxc-info - query information about a container

SYNOPSIS

lxc-info {-n name} [-c KEY] [-s] [-p] [-i] [-S] [-H]

DESCRIPTION

lxc-info queries and shows information about a container.

OPTIONS

FC-c, --config F[0]KEY: Print a configuration key from the container. This option may be given multiple times to print out multiple key = value pairs.

FC-s, --stateF[0]: Just print the container's state.

FC-p, --pidF[0]: Just print the container's pid.

FC-i, --ipsF[0]: Just print the container's IP addresses.

FC-S, --statsF[0]

Just print the container's statistics. Note that for performance reasons the kernel does not account kernel memory use unless a kernel memory limit is set. If a limit is not set, lxc-info will display kernel memory use as 0. A limit can be set by specifying

FC
            lxc.cgroup.memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes = number
            F[0]

in your container configuration file, see lxc.conf(5).

FC-H, --no-humanizeF[0]: Print the container's statistics in raw, non-humanized form. The default is to print statistics in humanized form.

FC-P, --lxcpath=F[0]PATH: Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.

FC-o, --logfile=F[0]FILE: Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

FC-l, --logpriority=F[0]LEVEL

Note that this option is setting the priority of the events log in the alternate log file. It do not have effect on the ERROR events log on stderr.

FC-n, --name=F[0]NAME: Use container identifier NAME. The container identifier format is an alphanumeric string.

FC--rcfile=F[0]FILE

This configuration file if present will be used even if there is already a configuration file present in the previously created container (via lxc-create).
