NAME
lsns - list namespaces
SYNOPSIS
lsns [options] [namespace]
DESCRIPTION
lsns lists information about all the currently accessible namespaces or
about the given namespace. The namespace identifier is an inode num-
ber.
The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you
should avoid using default outputs in your scripts. Always explicitly
define expected columns by using the --output option together with a
columns list in environments where a stable output is required.
NSFS column, printed when net is specified for --type option, is spe-
cial; it uses multi-line cells. Use the option --nowrap is for switch-
ing to "," separated single-line representation.
Note that lsns reads information directly from the /proc filesystem and
for non-root users it may return incomplete information. The current
/proc filesystem may be unshared and affected by a PID namespace (see
unshare --mount-proc for more details). lsns is not able to see per-
sistent namespaces without processes where the namespace instance is
held by a bind mount to /proc/pid/ns/type.
