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, ALERT, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE.

              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.*'
              Show information for all containers whose name starts with ubuntu.

       lxc-info -n foo -c lxc.net.0.veth.pair
              prints the veth pair name of foo.
