# lxc-info

## 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 per‐
                  formance 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.

           **-q, --quiet**
                  mute on
    
           **-P, --lxcpath=**_PATH_

           **-l, --logpriority=**_LEVEL_

                  This configuration file if present will be used even if
                  there is already a configuration file present in the previ‐
                  ously created container (via lxc-create).
