+## NAME
+podman\-top - Display the running processes of a container
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman top** [*options*] *container* [*format-descriptors*]
+
+**podman container top** [*options*] *container* [*format-descriptors*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+Display the running processes of the container. The *format-descriptors* are ps (1) compatible AIX format descriptors but extended to print additional information, such as the seccomp mode or the effective capabilities of a given process. The descriptors can either be passed as separated arguments or as a single comma-separated argument. 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.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--help**, **-h**
+
+Print usage statement
+
+**--latest**, **-l**
+
+Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
+to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
+
+The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
+
+## FORMAT DESCRIPTORS
+
+The following descriptors are supported in addition to the AIX format descriptors mentioned in ps (1):
+
+**args, capbnd, capeff, capinh, capprm, comm, etime, group, hgroup, hpid, huser, label, nice, pcpu, pgid, pid, ppid, rgroup, ruser, seccomp, state, time, tty, user, vsz**
+
+**capbnd**
+
+  Set of bounding capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.
+
+**capeff**
+
+  Set of effective capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.
+
+**capinh**
+
+  Set of inheritable capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.
+
+**capprm**
+
+  Set of permitted capabilities. See capabilities (7) for more information.
+
+**hgroup**
+
+  The corresponding effective group of a container process on the host.
+
+**hpid**
+
+  The corresponding host PID of a container process.
+
+**huser**
+
+  The corresponding effective user of a container process on the host.
+
+**label**
+
+  Current security attributes of the process.
+
+**seccomp**
+
+  Seccomp mode of the process (i.e., disabled, strict or filter). See seccomp (2) for more information.
+
+**state**
+
+  Process state codes (e.g, **R** for *running*, **S** for *sleeping*). See proc(5) for more information.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+By default, `podman-top` prints data similar to `ps -ef`:
+
+```
+$ podman top f5a62a71b07
+USER   PID   PPID   %CPU    ELAPSED         TTY     TIME   COMMAND
+root   1     0      0.000   20.386825206s   pts/0   0s     sh
+root   7     1      0.000   16.386882887s   pts/0   0s     sleep
+root   8     1      0.000   11.386886562s   pts/0   0s     vi
+```
+
+The output can be controlled by specifying format descriptors as arguments after the container:
+
+```
+$ podman top -l pid seccomp args %C
+PID   SECCOMP   COMMAND     %CPU
+1     filter    sh          0.000
+8     filter    vi /etc/    0.000
+```
+
+Podman will fallback to executing ps(1) in the container if an unknown descriptor is specified.
+
+```
+$ podman top -l -- aux
+USER   PID   PPID   %CPU    ELAPSED             TTY   TIME   COMMAND
+root   1     0      0.000   1h2m12.497061672s   ?     0s     sleep 100000
+```
