−−filter=regex
The regular expression passed to lxc-ls will be applied to the container name. The format is a POSIX extended regular expression. It can also be given as additional argument without explicitly using −−filter.
lxc-ls --fancy
list all the containers, listing one per line along with its name, state, ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.
lxc-ls --active -1

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
