About lxc
show
and info
ΒΆ
For the entities managed by LXD, the lxc
command provides a list
sub-command, and might provide show
and info
sub-commands.
The purpose of the info
sub-command is to show current state information, and the purpose of the show
sub-command is to show configuration information and how the entity is used by other entities.
For example, the lxc network info
command shows IP address and traffic statistics:
Name: lxdbr0
MAC address: 00:16:3e:d3:ec:41
MTU: 1500
State: up
Ips:
inet 192.0.2.1
inet6 2001:db8:f4a1:53d2::1
inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fed3:ec41
Network usage:
Bytes received: 127.66kB
Bytes sent: 15.54kB
Packets received: 1433

The lxc network show
command, on the other hand, shows how the network is configured, and which entities are using the network:
config:
ipv4.address: 192.0.2.1/24
ipv4.nat: "true"
ipv6.address: 2001:db8:f4a1:53d2::1/64
ipv6.nat: "true"
