Use the option --nowrap to switch to \",\"-separated single-line\nrepresentation.\n\nNote that lsns reads information directly from the /proc filesystem and for non-root users it\nmay return incomplete information. The current /proc filesystem may be unshared and affected\nby a PID namespace (see unshare --mount-proc for more details). lsns is not able to see\npersistent namespaces without processes where the namespace instance is held by a bind mount\nto /proc/pid/ns/type.\n", "subsections": [] }, "OPTIONS": { "content": "", "subsections": [ { "name": "-J --json", "content": "Use JSON output format.\n", "flag": "-J", "long": "--json" }, { "name": "-l --list", "content": "Use list output format.\n", "flag": "-l", "long": "--list" }, { "name": "-n --noheadings", "content": "Do not print a header line.\n", "flag": "-n", "long": "--noheadings" }, { "name": "-o --output", "content": "Specify which output columns to print.
