NAME
lxc-user-nic - Create and attach a nic to another network namespace.
SYNOPSIS
lxc-user-nic {pid} {type} {bridge} [nicname]
DESCRIPTION
lxc-user-nic is a setuid-root program with which unprivileged users may create network interfaces for use
by a lxc container.
It will consult the configuration file /etc/lxc/lxc-usernet to determine the number of interfaces which
the calling user is allowed to create, and which bridge he may attach them to. It tracks the number of
interfaces each user has created using the file /run/lxc/nics. It ensures that the calling user is
privileged over the network namespace to which the interface will be attached.
OPTIONS
pid The process id for the task to whose network namespace the interface should be attached.
type The network interface type to attach. Currently only veth is supported. With this type, two
interfaces representing each tunnel endpoint are created. One endpoint will be attached to the
specified bridge, while the other will be passed into the container.
bridge The bridge to which to attach the network interface, for instance lxcbr0.
nicname
The desired interface name in the container. This will be eth0 if unspecified.
