• status of pod as defined by the following table
┌─────────┬───────────────────────────────┐
│ Status │ Description │

│ │ stopped │
├─────────┼───────────────────────────────┤
│ Running │ at least one container is │
│ │ running │

│ Stopped │ At least one container │
│ │ stopped and none running │
├─────────┼───────────────────────────────┤
│ Exited │ All containers stopped in pod │
├─────────┼───────────────────────────────┤
│ Dead │ Error retrieving state │
└─────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
OPTIONS
--ctr-ids
Display the container IDs
--ctr-names
Display the container names
--ctr-status
Display the container statuses
--filter, -f=filter
Provide filter values.
The filters argument format is of key=value. If there is more than one
filter, then pass multiple OPTIONS: --filter foo=bar --filter bif=baz.
Supported filters:
┌────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
│ Filter │ Description │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ ctr-ids │ Filter by container ID │
│ │ within the pod. (CID pre- │
│ │ fix match by default; ac- │
│ │ cepts regex) │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ ctr-names │ Filter by container name │
│ │ within the pod. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ ctr-number │ Filter by number of con- │
│ │ tainers in the pod. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ ctr-status │ Filter by container status │
│ │ within the pod. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ id │ Filter by pod ID. (Prefix │
│ │ match by default; accepts │
│ │ regex) │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ label │ Filter by container with │
│ │ (or without, in the case │
│ │ of label!=[...] is used) │
│ │ the specified labels. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ name │ Filter by pod name. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ network │ Filter by network name or │
│ │ full ID of network. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ status │ Filter by pod status. │
├────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
│ until │ Filter by pods created be- │
│ │ fore given timestamp. │
└────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
The ctr-ids, ctr-names, id, name filters accept regex format.
The ctr-status filter accepts values: created, running, paused, stopped,
exited, unknown.
The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=key or la-
bel=key=value, which removes containers with the specified labels. The
other format is the label!=key or label!=key=value, which removes con-
tainers without the specified labels.
The until filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or
Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the machine’s
time.
The status filter accepts values: stopped, running, paused, exited,
dead, created, degraded.
