runc-ps(8)

✨ runc-ps ✨

okay so real quick, this is a page from the System Manager's Manual — yes bestie, that's the runc-ps(8) manual, and we're about to make it make sense 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

runc-ps — show me the processes chillin' inside a container 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

runc ps [option ...] container-id [ps-option ...]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So ps here is basically a glow-up wrapper around the regular stock ps(1) utility 🔥 — except it filters the output so you only see the processes that belong to the container you named with container-id. Which means, important bestie detail: the PIDs you see are the host PIDs 👑 no cap.

You can throw any ps(1) options at it, but heads up — some of them can break the filtering 😭. Specifically:

• if the PID column isn't available, you get an error back. periodt.
• if there are columns whose values contain spaces and they come before the PID column, then the result is undefined 💀 (yes, undefined. we don't make the rules.)

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --format | -f table|json — picks how the output looks. Default is table. The json format gives you just a bare array of the PIDs that belong to the container — nothing else, just the PIDs 🌈. And if you use it, all the ps options get ignored. like, completely. sorry babe 🎀
