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 KEY]
              Print  a  configuration  key  from the container. This option may be given mulitple
              times to print out multiple key = value pairs.

       [-s]   Just print the container's state.

       [-p]   Just print the container's pid.

       [-i]   Just print the container's IP addresses.

       [-S]   Just print the container's statistics.  Note that for performance reasons the  ker‐
              nel  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]   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.

              Give the usage message

       -q, --quiet
              mute on

       -P, --lxcpath=PATH

       -o, --logfile=FILE
              Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

       -l, --logpriority=LEVEL

              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.

              string.
