	//
	// Errors:
	// ContainerDestroyed - Container no longer exists,
	// SystemError - System error.

	// Start a process inside the container. Returns the PID of the new process (in the caller process's namespace) and a channel that will return the exit status of the process whenever it dies.

	Resume() Error
}

A libcontainer container object.

Each container is thread-safe within the same process. Since a container can be destroyed by a separate process, any function may return that the container was not found.

type ContainerStats

type ContainerStats struct {
	NetworkStats *network.NetworkStats `json:"network_stats,omitempty"`
	CgroupStats  *cgroups.Stats        `json:"cgroup_stats,omitempty"`
}

func GetStats

func GetStats(container *Config, state *State) (stats *ContainerStats, err error)

TODO(vmarmol): Complete Stats() in final libcontainer API and move users to that. DEPRECATED: The below portions are only to be used during the transition to the official API. Returns all available stats for the given container.

type Error

type Error interface {
	error

	// Returns the stack trace, if any, which identifies the
	// point at which the error occurred.
	Stack() []byte

	// Returns a verbose string including the error message
	// and a representation of the stack trace suitable for
	// printing.
	Detail() string

	// Returns the error code for this error.
	Code() ErrorCode
}

API Error type.

type ErrorCode

type ErrorCode int

API error code type.

const (
	// Factory errors
	IdInUse ErrorCode = iota
	InvalidIdFormat

	// Container errors
	ContainerDestroyed
	ContainerPaused

	// Common errors
	ConfigInvalid
	SystemError
)

API error codes.

type Factory

type Factory interface {

	// Creates a new container with the given id and starts the initial process inside it.
	// id must be a string containing only letters, digits and underscores and must contain
	// between 1 and 1024 characters, inclusive.
	//
	// The id must not already be in use by an existing container. Containers created using
	// a factory with the same path (and file system) must have distinct ids.
	//
	// Returns the new container with a running process.
	//
	// Errors:
	// IdInUse - id is already in use by a container
	// InvalidIdFormat - id has incorrect format
	// ConfigInvalid - config is invalid
	// SystemError - System error
	//
	// On error, any partially created container parts are cleaned up (the operation is atomic).
	Create(id string, config *Config) (Container, Error)

	// Load takes an ID for an existing container and reconstructs the container
	// from the state.
	//
	// Errors:
	// Path does not exist
	// Container is stopped
	// System error
	// TODO: fix description
	Load(id string) (Container, Error)
}

type MountConfig

type MountConfig mount.MountConfig

type Network

type Network network.Network

type ProcessConfig

type ProcessConfig struct {
	// The command to be run followed by any arguments.
	Args []string

	// Map of environment variables to their values.
	Env []string

	// Stdin is a pointer to a reader which provides the standard input stream.
	// Stdout is a pointer to a writer which receives the standard output stream.
	// Stderr is a pointer to a writer which receives the standard error stream.
	//
	// If a reader or writer is nil, the input stream is assumed to be empty and the output is
	// discarded.
	//
	// The readers and writers, if supplied, are closed when the process terminates. Their Close
	// methods should be idempotent.
	//
	// Stdout and Stderr may refer to the same writer in which case the output is interspersed.
	Stdin  io.ReadCloser
	Stdout io.WriteCloser
	Stderr io.WriteCloser
}

Configuration for a process to be run inside a container.

type Rlimit

type Rlimit struct {
	Type int    `json:"type,omitempty"`
	Hard uint64 `json:"hard,omitempty"`
	Soft uint64 `json:"soft,omitempty"`
}

type Route

type Route struct {
	// Sets the destination and mask, should be a CIDR.  Accepts IPv4 and IPv6
	Destination string `json:"destination,omitempty"`

	// Sets the source and mask, should be a CIDR.  Accepts IPv4 and IPv6
	Source string `json:"source,omitempty"`

	// Sets the gateway.  Accepts IPv4 and IPv6
	Gateway string `json:"gateway,omitempty"`

	// The device to set this route up for, for example: eth0
	InterfaceName string `json:"interface_name,omitempty"`
}

Routes can be specified to create entries in the route table as the container is started

All of destination, source, and gateway should be either IPv4 or IPv6. One of the three options must be present, and ommitted entries will use their IP family default for the route table. For IPv4 for example, setting the gateway to 1.2.3.4 and the interface to eth0 will set up a standard destination of 0.0.0.0(or *) when viewed in the route table.

type RunState

type RunState int

The running state of the container.

const (

	// The container exists and is running.
	Running RunState = iota

	// The container exists, it is in the process of being paused.
	Pausing

	// The container exists, but all its processes are paused.
	Paused

	// The container does not exist.
	Destroyed
)

type State

type State struct {
	// InitPid is the init process id in the parent namespace
	InitPid int `json:"init_pid,omitempty"`

	// InitStartTime is the init process start time
	InitStartTime string `json:"init_start_time,omitempty"`

	// Network runtime state.
	NetworkState network.NetworkState `json:"network_state,omitempty"`

	// Path to all the cgroups setup for a container. Key is cgroup subsystem name.
	CgroupPaths map[string]string `json:"cgroup_paths,omitempty"`
}

State represents a running container's state

func GetState

func GetState(basePath string) (*State, error)

GetState reads the state.json file for a running container
