Note that you can also specify options and or flags of ps(1); in this case, Podman will fallback to executing ps with the specified arguments and flags in the container. Please use the "h*" descriptors if you want to extract host-related information. For instance, `podman top $name hpid huser` to display the PID and user of the processes in the host context. ## OPTIONS |
