💖 NAME 💖

lxc-device — the girlie that manages devices of running containers ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc-device [-h] [-n name] [add] [DEVICE] [NAME]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so bestie, lxc-device manages devices in a running container. That's literally the whole vibe — it's your little handler for poking devices into a container that's already up and living its best life. 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h — shows the full command help message. Your lil "wait what do I do again" button 🫶
• -n, --name=NAME — the name of the target container. Like, which container are we doing this for, queen? 👑
• action — what action to perform. Ngl only 'add' is supported at this point — that's the whole menu, periodt. 💀
• DEVICE — the device to add to the container. It can either be the path to a device under /dev or a network interface name. Yes she does both, versatile icon 🌈
• [NAME] — name for the device within the container. Because sometimes you want it to go by a different name on the inside, iykyk 💫

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

• lxc-device -n p1 add /dev/video0

Creates a /dev/video0 device in container p1 based on the matching device on the host. Slay, now p1 has a camera vibe 🔥

• lxc-device -n p1 add eth0 eth1

Moves eth0 from the host as eth1 in p1. She's moving out and rebranding, no cap 🧚
