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.
