NAME

podman top - Display the running processes of a container

SYNOPSIS

podman top [--help|-h]

DESCRIPTION

Display the running process of the container. ps-OPTION can be any of the options you would pass to a Linux ps command

podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS] top [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS

--help, -h Print usage statement

--format Display the output in an alternate format. The only supported format is JSON.

--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.
