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

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

-s, --state
    Just print the container's state.

-p, --pid
    Just print the container's pid.

-i, --ips
    Just print the container's IP addresses.

-S, --stats
    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
                lxc.cgroup.memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes = number

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

-H, --no-humanize
    Print the container's statistics in raw, non-humanized form. The default is to print statistics in humanized form.

COMMON OPTIONS

These options are common to most of lxc commands.

-?, -h, --help
    Print a longer usage message than normal.

--usage
    Give the usage message

-q, --quiet
    mute on

-P, --lxcpath=PATH
    Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.

-o, --logfile=FILE
    Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

-l, --logpriority=LEVEL
    Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority is ERROR. Possible values are : FATAL, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG. 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.

-n, --name=NAME
    Use container identifier NAME. The container identifier format is an alphanumeric string.

--rcfile=FILE
    Specify the configuration file to configure the virtualization and isolation functionalities for the container. 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).

--version
    Show the version number.

EXAMPLES

lxc-info -n foo
    Show information for foo.

lxc-info -n 'ubuntu.*'
