💅 LXC(1) — the lxc command, bestie edition

ok so welcome to the lxc manual page, aka the front door to LXD - Command line client 🎀 this is the man page you're reading, and yes she's iconic. grab a snack, we're going through it together.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc [flags]

literally that's it. just lxc and whatever flags you're feeling 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe:

Command line client for LXD. that's the whole personality.

and the way that all of LXD's features can be driven through the various commands below?? obsessed. genuinely every single one. 🔥 so if you need help with any of those commands, you just call them with --help and they'll explain themselves. no cap, that's the move. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's every flag, and I mean every one. no skipping, we don't do that here 💅

  • --all[=false] — shows you the less common commands. like the secret menu at your fave cafe 🌈
  • --debug[=false] — shows all the debug messages. everything. the whole tea ☕
  • --force-local[=false] — forces it to use the local unix socket. periodt.
  • -h, --help[=false] — prints help 🫶 the classic, the icon, the moment
  • --project="" — overrides the source project
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. she's lowkey, she's mysterious 🙈
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view sub-commands. iykyk 🔍
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — shows all information messages. she's a talker, we love her 💬
  • --version[=false] — prints the version number. main character energy fr fr ⭐
