NAME

   lxc-exec - Execute commands in instances

SYNOPSIS

   lxc exec [:] [flags] [--]

DESCRIPTION

   Description:
     Execute commands in instances

   The command is executed directly using exec, so there is no shell and
     shell patterns (variables, file redirects, ...) won't be understood.
     If you need a shell environment you need to execute the shell
     executable, passing the shell commands as arguments, for example:

   lxc exec <instance> -- sh -c "cd /tmp && pwd"

   Mode defaults to non-interactive, interactive mode is selected if both stdin AND stdout are terminals (stderr is ignored).
