lxc-info − query information about a container
lxc-info {-n name} [-c KEY] [-s] [-p] [-i] [-S] [-H]
lxc-info queries and shows information about a container.
−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.
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.
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.
