NAME         top

       lxc-update-config - update a legacy pre LXC 2.1 configuration
       file

SYNOPSIS         top

       lxc-update-config {-c config}

DESCRIPTION         top

       lxc-update-config  detects  any  legacy configuration keys in the
       given config file and will replace them with the appropriate  new
       configuration keys.

       lxc-update-config  will  first  create a backup of the old config
       file in the same directory and name it config.backup and then up‐
       date the original config file in place. In case the update  fails
       to  apply  or leads to an invalid config file that cannot be used
       to start a container users can either compare  config  with  con‐
       fig.backup  and try to manually repair any the invalid configura‐
       tion keys or simply rollback to the legacy configuration file  by
       copying config.backup to config.

       Any  failures  for lxc-update-config to generate a useable config
       file are a bug and should be reported upstream.

OPTIONS         top
