PROGRAM:

NAME


lxc-console - Launch a console for the specified container

SYNOPSIS


lxc-console {-n name} [-e escape character] [-t ttynum]

DESCRIPTION


If the tty service has been configured and is available for the container specified as
parameter, this command will launch a console allowing to log on the container.

The available tty are free slots taken by this command. That means if the container has
four ttys available and the command has been launched four times each taking a different
tty, the fifth command will fail because no console will be available.

The command will connect to a tty. If the connection is lost or broken, the command can be
launched again and regain the tty at the state it was before the disconnection.

A ttynum of 0 may be given to attach to the container's /dev/console instead of its
dev/tty<ttynum>.

A keyboard escape sequence may be used to disconnect from the tty and quit lxc-console.
The default escape sequence is <Ctrl+a q>.

OPTIONS


-e, --escape escape character
Specify the escape sequence prefix to use instead of <Ctrl a>. This may be given
as '^letter' or just 'letter'. For example to use <Ctrl+b q> as the escape sequence
use -e '^b'.

-t, --tty ttynum
Specify the tty number to connect to or 0 for the console. If not specified the
next available tty number will be automatically chosen by the container.

DIAGNOSTIC

No tty is available or there is not enough privilege to use the console. For
example, the container belongs to user "foo" and "bar" is trying to open a console
to it.
