13

OPTIONS

15       -c, --config KEY
16              Print a configuration key from the container. This option may be
17              given multiple times to print out multiple key = value pairs.
18
19       -s, --state
20              Just print the container's state.
21
22       -p, --pid

27
28       -S, --stats
29              Just print the container's statistics.  Note  that  for  perfor‐
30              mance  reasons the kernel does not account kernel memory use un‐
31              less a kernel memory limit is set. If a limit is not  set,  lxc-
32              info  will display kernel memory use as 0. A limit can be set by
33              specifying
34
35                          lxc.cgroup.memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes = number

39
40       -H, --no-humanize
41              Print the container's statistics in raw, non-humanized form. The
42              default is to print statistics in humanized form.
