lxc-cgroup — manage the control group associated with a container
Synopsis
lxc-cgroup {-n name} {state-object} [value]
Description
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.
Options
- state-object
Specify the state object name.
- [value]
Specify the value to assign to the state object.

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

Examples
- lxc-cgroup -n foo devices.list
