.SH "NAME"
lsns \- list namespaces
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBlsns\fP [options] \fInamespace\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBlsns\fP lists information about all the currently accessible namespaces or about the given \fInamespace\fP. The \fInamespace\fP identifier is an inode number.
.sp
The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you should avoid using default outputs in your scripts. Always explicitly define expected output mode (\fB\-\-tree\fP or \fB\-\-list\fP) and columns by using the \fB\-\-output\fP option together with a columns list in environments where a stable output is required.
.sp
The \fBNSFS\fP column, printed when \fBnet\fP is specified for the \fB\-\-type\fP option, is special; it uses multi\-line cells. Use the option \fB\-\-nowrap\fP to switch to ","\-separated single\-line representation.
.sp
Note that \fBlsns\fP reads information directly from the \fI/proc\fP filesystem and for non\-root users it may return incomplete information. The current \fI/proc\fP filesystem may be unshared and affected by a PID namespace (see \fBunshare \-\-mount\-proc\fP for more details). \fBlsns\fP is not able to see persistent namespaces without processes where the namespace instance is held by a bind mount to /proc/\fIpid\fP/ns/\fItype\fP.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.sp
\fB\-J\fP, \fB\-\-json\fP
.RS 4
Use JSON output format.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-l\fP, \fB\-\-list\fP
.RS 4
Use list output format.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-n\fP, \fB\-\-noheadings\fP
.RS 4
Do not print a header line.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-o\fP, \fB\-\-output\fP \fIlist\fP
.RS 4
Specify which output columns to print. Use \fB\-\-help\fP to get a list of all supported columns.
.sp
The default list of columns may be extended if \fIlist\fP is specified in the format \fB+\fP\fIlist\fP (e.g., \fBlsns \-o +PATH\fP).
.RE
.sp
\fB\-\-output\-all\fP
.RS 4
Output all available columns.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-p\fP, \fB\-\-task\fP \fIPID\fP
.RS 4
Display only the namespaces held by the process with this \fIPID\fP.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-r\fP, \fB\-\-raw\fP
.RS 4
Use the raw output format.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-t\fP, \fB\-\-type\fP \fItype\fP
.RS 4
Display the specified \fItype\fP of namespaces only. The supported types are \fBmnt\fP, \fBnet\fP, \fBipc\fP, \fBuser\fP, \fBpid\fP, \fButs\fP, \fBcgroup\fP and \fBtime\fP. This option may be given more than once.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-u\fP, \fB\-\-notruncate\fP
.RS 4
Do not truncate text in columns.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-W\fP, \fB\-\-nowrap\fP
.RS 4
Do not use multi\-line text in columns.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-T\fP, \fB\-\-tree\fP \fIrel\fP
.RS 4
Use tree\-like output format. If \fBprocess\fP is given as \fIrel\fP, print process tree(s) in each name space. This is default when \fB\-\-tree\fP is not specified. If \fBparent\fP is given, print tree(s) constructed by the parent/child relationship. If \fBowner\fP is given, print tree(s) constructed by the owner/owned relationship. \fBowner\fP is used as default when \fIrel\fP is omitted.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP
.RS 4
Display help text and exit.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP
.RS 4
Print version and exit.
