% podman-top(1)
## 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. 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
#### **--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.(This option is not available with the remote Podman 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.
**stime**
Process start time (e.g, "2019-12-09 10:50:36 +0100 CET).
## 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
```
