NAME

       lsns - list namespaces

SYNOPSIS

       lsns [options] namespace

DESCRIPTION

       lsns lists information about all the currently accessible namespaces or about the given
       namespace. The namespace identifier is an inode number.

       The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you should avoid using
       default outputs in your scripts. Always explicitly define expected columns by using the
       --output option together with a columns list in environments where a stable output is
       required.

       The NSFS column, printed when net is specified for the --type option, is special; it uses
       multi-line cells. Use the option --nowrap to switch to ","-separated single-line
       representation.

       Note that lsns reads information directly from the /proc filesystem and for non-root users
       it may return incomplete information. The current /proc filesystem may be unshared and
       affected by a PID namespace (see unshare --mount-proc for more details). lsns is not able
       to see persistent namespaces without processes where the namespace instance is held by a
       bind mount to /proc/pid/ns/type.

OPTIONS

       -J, --json
           Use JSON output format.

       -l, --list
           Use list output format.

       -n, --noheadings
           Do not print a header line.

       -o, --output list
           Specify which output columns to print. Use --help to get a list of all supported
           columns.

           The default list of columns may be extended if list is specified in the format +list
           (e.g., lsns -o +PATH).

       --output-all
           Output all available columns.

       -p, --task PID
           Display only the namespaces held by the process with this PID.

       -r, --raw
           Use the raw output format.

       -t, --type type
           Display the specified type of namespaces only. The supported types are mnt, net, ipc,
           user, pid, uts, cgroup and time. This option may be given more than once.

       -u, --notruncate
           Do not truncate text in columns.

       -W, --nowrap
           Do not use multi-line text in columns.

       -V, --version
           Display version information and exit.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.
