podman-top(1)		     General Commands Manual		   podman-top(1)

NAME
     podman-top - Display the running processes of a container

SYNOPSIS
     podman top [options] container [format-descriptors]

     podman container top [options] container [format-descriptors]

DESCRIPTION
     Display  the running processes of the container. The format-descriptors are
     ps (1) compatible AIX format descriptors but extended to  print  additional
     information,  such  as  the seccomp mode or the effective capabilities of a
     given process. The descriptors can either be passed as separated  arguments
     or  as a single comma-separated argument. Note that options and or flags of
     ps(1) can also be specified; in this case, Podman falls back  to  executing
     ps(1) from the host with the specified arguments and flags in the container
     namespace.  If the container has the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability then we will
     execute ps(1) in the container so it must be installed there.   To  extract
     host-related  information,  use the "h*" descriptors.  For instance, podman
     top $name hpid huser to display the PID and user of the  processes  in  the
     host context.

OPTIONS
   --help, -h
     Print usage statement

   --latest, -l
     Instead  of  providing  the container name or ID, use the last created con-
     tainer.  Note: the last started container can be from other users of Podman
     on the host machine.  (This option is not available with the remote  Podman
     client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

FORMAT DESCRIPTORS
     The  following  descriptors are supported in addition to the AIX format de-
     scriptors mentioned in ps (1):

     args, capbnd, capeff, capinh, capprm, comm, etime, group,	groups,  hgroup,
     hgroups,  hpid,  huser,  label, nice, pcpu, pgid, pid, ppid, rgroup, ruser,
     seccomp, state, time, tty, user, vsz

     capbnd

     Set of bounding capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.

     capeff

     Set of effective capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.

     capinh

     Set of inheritable capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.

     capprm

     Set of permitted capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.

     group

     The effective group of the process.

     groups

     The supplementary groups of the process.

     hgroup

     The corresponding effective group of a container process on the host.

     hgroups

     The corresponding supplementary groups of a container process on the host.

     hpid

     The corresponding host PID of a container process.

     huser

     The corresponding effective user of a container process on the host.

     label

     Current security attributes of the process.

     seccomp

     Seccomp mode of the process (i.e., disabled, strict or filter). See seccomp
     (2) for more information.

     state

     Process state codes (e.g, R for running, S for sleeping). See  proc(5)  for
     more information.

     stime

     Process start time (e.g, "2019-12-09 10:50:36 +0100 CET).

EXAMPLES
     By default, podman-top prints data similar to ps -ef.

     $ podman top f5a62a71b07
     USER   PID   PPID	 %CPU	 ELAPSED	 TTY	 TIME	COMMAND
     root   1	  0	 0.000	 20.386825206s	 pts/0	 0s	sh
     root   7	  1	 0.000	 16.386882887s	 pts/0	 0s	sleep
     root   8	  1	 0.000	 11.386886562s	 pts/0	 0s	vi

     The  output can be controlled by specifying format descriptors as arguments
     after the container.

     $ podman top -l pid seccomp args %C
     PID   SECCOMP   COMMAND	 %CPU
     1	   filter    sh 	 0.000
     8	   filter    vi /etc/	 0.000

     Podman falls back to executing ps(1) from the host in the	container  name-
     space if an unknown descriptor is specified.

     $ podman top -l -- aux
     USER   PID   PPID	 %CPU	 ELAPSED	     TTY   TIME   COMMAND
     root   1	  0	 0.000	 1h2m12.497061672s   ?	   0s	  sleep 100000
