okay bestie, welcome to the apptainer(1) manual page for apptainer-oci-state — the little command that checks on your container’s state. This one is root user only, so bring your root energy. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

apptainer-oci-state — query the state of a container (root user only). no cap, that’s the whole name up top. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

apptainer oci state

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So state invokes the state operation to query the state of a container that’s created/running/stopped — and you identify that container by its container ID. that’s the vibe: created/running/stopped container, container ID, state query. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help[=false] — help for state. literally the “what is this” button. 💖
• -s, --sync-socket="" — specify the path to the unix socket for state synchronization. yep, that’s the socket path for syncing state. 🔥

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

$ apptainer oci state mycontainer
