lxc-cgroup - Man Page

lxc-cgroup {-n name} {state-object} [value]

lxc-cgroup gets or sets the value of a state-object (e.g., 'cpuset.cpus') in the container's cgroup for the corresponding subsystem (e.g., 'cpuset'). If no [value] is specified, the current value of the state-object is displayed; otherwise it is set.

Note that lxc-cgroup does not check that the state-object is valid for the running kernel, or that the corresponding subsystem is contained in any mounted cgroup hierarchy.

state-object

Specify the state object name.

[value]

Specify the value to assign to the state object.

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

-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-cgroup -n foo devices.list

display the allowed devices to be used.

lxc-cgroup -n foo cpuset.cpus "0,3"

assign the processors 0 and 3 to the container.
