lxc-cgroup - manage the control group associated with a container

       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
              mute on

       -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.

       --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  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.

       The container was not found
              The container is not running.

       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.
