NAME

       cgsnapshot - generate the configuration file for given controllers

SYNOPSIS

       cgsnapshot [-h] [-s] [-t] [-b file] [-w file] [-f output_file]  [controller] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       cgsnapshot generates the cgconfig compatible configuration file for the given controllers.
       If no controller is set, then cgsnapshot shows all mounted hierarchies.  The output is  in
       the same format as the cgconfig.conf configuration file.

       -b file
              Display  only  variables from the blacklist.  The default location of the blacklist
              is /etc/cgsnapshot_blacklist.conf.  This list contains all variables  which  should
              be  ignored  by  the  cgsnapshot  If  the  variable  is blacklisted, it will not be
              displayed.  If it is not present on the blacklist, the whitelist is checked.

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -f, --file
              Redirect the output to output_file

       -s, --silent
              Ignore all warnings

       -t, --strict
              Do not display the variables which are not on the whitelist

       -w file
              Set the blacklist configuration file.   This  list  contains  all  variables  which
              should be displayed by cgsnapshot If the variable is not blacklisted, the whitelist
              is checked.  If the variable is on the whitelist, it is displayed by cgsnapshot  If
              the  variable  is  not  on  the  whitelist, the variable is displayed and a warning
              message is produced.  By default the whitelist is not used.

              The warning message can be omitted  using  the  -s,  --silent  flag.   If  the  -t,
              --strict flag is used, the variable which is not on the whitelist is not displayed.

       controller
              defines the controller whose hierarchies will be output
